Personal bias at large, as Lisa Hannigan gets set to release her second single on March 26th from lyrically rich and emotionally enthralling album 'Passenger'. 'What'll I do' is a bright, infectious and colourful component to the album which continues to highlight the growing change in Lisa's writing and delivery of her music. [youtube] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =TvwJMa5b1Qg[/youtube] Reminiscing someone who clearly makes the world a little better, it's the sort of track I'd find myself toe-tapping to as I walk down the street (inesrt comedy moment). Whilst still delivering on the a... Read more..

Agosto 2010, Londra. A Piccadilly c'era ancora il negozio della Tower Records. Quel pomeriggio c'ero anche io, in attesa che il mio amico Marco riemergesse dalla sezione punk rock. Nell'attesa inforcavo le cuffie di una postazione d'ascolto e decidevo di ascoltare un disco dalla copertina essenziale, ricoperta da uno spartano e al tempo stesso elegante tessuto. Era Damien Rice col suo "O", disco d'esordio che, in un'epoca in cui i blog e le webzine non si erano ancora espansi a macchia d'olio, in Italia era ancora praticamente sconosciuto. Da qui un colpo di fulmine, l'acquisto [...]
One of the more upbeat songs from Lisa Hanningan's second album Passenger has gotten the video treatment real good. We are glad she is venturing out in the visual world more. "What'll I Do" has a really infectious chorus. Damien Rice - eat your heart out!

Lisa Hannigan 's new single is called 'What'll I Do', and the promo video is in your face. Literally. Good thing Lisa is cute as a button. Enjoy it below. Click here to view the embedded video.
Yet another wonderful video from Lisa Hannigan. After the colour frenzy of 'Knots' and the water-filled tub of 'Little Bird', 'What'll I Do' ratchets up the fun once more. When they were thinking up video ideas for Passenger, Hannigan's second album, which is also up for the Choice Prize, she [Read more]

Watch, and try not to smile, we dare you, Lisa Hannigan's official video for "What'll I Do", lifted from her latest album Passenger
The official video for 'What'll I Do' is the third in a series of official videos where Lisa Hannigan is desperately trying to sing with significant distraction. In 'Knots' she was pelted with paint for the duration of the song and in 'Little Bird' she's underwater. In this video she's on a rollercoaster at Dublin's Funderland! Apparently it took 18 rollercoaster rides to get the footage needed for the video. Impressive and fun, I love this series of videos from Lisa Hannigan. http://www.lisahannigan.ie/ Tweet

State dropped its Faces of 2012 digital mag last week, but if you're looking for something a little more historic than you can check out Tony Clayton-Lea's book 101 Irish Records You Must Hear , a guide to some Irish albums down the decades that Mr Clayton-Lea reckons you have to hear. It includes U2, Taste, Villagers, Therapy?, Lisa Hannigan, Planxty, Damien Rice, Rudi, Fight Like Apes, Sinead O'Connor, Divine Comedy, Golden Horde, Rory Gallagher, Yeh Deadlies, The Blades, David Holmes, Horslips, The Pogues and more.

Irish folk band The Chieftains are celebrating 50 years of being in the game by releasing a new album next month entitled Voice of Ages (out on February 21st through Hear Music/Concord).

Pitchfork are currently streaming the Bon Iver/Chieftains collaboration 'Down In The Willow Garden' - so make sure you give it a spin ( here ).

Mesmo sob o mesmo rótulo, o de artistas do folk, o The Chieftains , grupo clássico de Folk Irlandês, e Justin Vernon e seu Bon Iver possuem estilos bem diferentes. O curioso é que, na colaboração gravada pelas duas bandas para o novo disco dos irlandeses, as duas abordagens fizeram uma fusão perfeita, em uma versão melancólica de uma canção tradicional da terra de St. Patrick, Down in the willow garden . A produção da faixa, o ritmo desacelerado e os vocais de Vernon transformam os versos dessa parceria em uma música [...]

Having never visited Eurosonic before, I assumed it was your usual music industry festival type-deal. Hundreds of bands and loads of industry looking for the next big thing. While the festival can fill that remit, the important part for me is the European focus. Over 250 bands from around Europe congregate in the city of Groningen, north of Amsterdam in the Netherlands, and live music is the main attraction. Festival bookers and promoters are here to book acts for their festivals and the EU offer subsidies to those who book Eurosonic-featured acts. Add in the work [...]

You know how sometimes something wonderful and new just falls out of the ether into your consciousness, and changes your life? Ever had it happen twice in a 24 hour period? I didn't go looking for Noah and Abby Gundersen; they simply showed up on the radar unannounced, first in an omnibus post over at Songs For The Day , which led me to a heavenly, almost-a capella four-part take on Helplessly Hoping recorded, gloriously, in a freaking cathedral , and then tonight, alongside a few familiar and [...]
