Psyjance pioneers Vernon Jane are back with a sonic and visual masterpiece in their new video for ‘Push Me’ The track is a brooding atmospheric mix of brass lines, thundering bass, plucked guitars and pained vocals which slowly build up a palpable tension. This tension finally explodes into an earth shattering crescendo in the songs final minute, shaking the listener to their core and making your hairs stand on end.

The band play their biggest headline show to date on December 12th in the Button Factory to celebrate the release.

Junior Brother explores loneliness in new Myles O’Reilly produced video for ‘The Back of Her’

Kerry singer/songwriter (and former TMFTML Presents alumnus) Junior Brother, real name Ronan Kealy, is back with his most personal & poetic song to date. Previous singles ‘Castlebridge‘ and ‘Hungover at Mass‘ revealed a deeply unique voice and musical vision which has been honed in the 2 years since his debut into the polished sound on display in ‘The Back of Her’. 

The Myles O’Reilly (Arbutus Yarns) produced video, directed by Ronan, deals with themes of loneliness, isolation and alcoholism as well as the struggle that creating art can be. 

“There’s people around who walk up and down streets in order to be with themselves for a while – some stay longer than others. The dumb loners tend to be content, and fight no inner battle to enjoy their own company. When walking with another replaces the long walks with yourself, and another’s whole being trumps the company of yourself, your own company is rendered useless. So when the person leaves, their company takes your company from you, leaving sweet dung-all to walk the street with. This purgatory is called the back of her, the video of which talks to itself in a tormented visual language made of rage, apathy and swans.”

Junior Brother will open for Vernon Jane in The Button Factory on Wednesday before playing his biggest headline show to date in The Sound House, Dublin on December 21st. Tickets are on sale now priced €13.

WATCH: Loah teams up with God Knows, Bantum, Dunny & Ben Bix on ‘Keep Your Heart’

Sallay Matu Garnett, better known as Loah, is a spellbinding singer who grew up between Maynooth and Sierra Leone. She made her recorded debut with last years ‘This Heart’ EP and this year she is releasing new remixes for each song on the record, working with a variety of different producers and artists. 

For ‘Keep Your Heart’, Limerick MC God Knows (of Choice Music Prize winners Rusangano Family) pens his most personal song to date over a loop of the Bantum produced instrumental ‘This Heart Interlude’. The lyrics tell of an emotional reunion with an old friend who’s fallen on hard times, a theme that’s sadly quite relatable to many young adults in Ireland.

God Knows threads the story through nostalgic childhood memories and the track is paired perfectly with a video filmed in Maynooth and Shannon (where Loah and God Knows grew up), produced by Irish studio Geppetto. Additional production on the track comes from Ben Bix & Dunny (Meltybrains?) 

It’s fantastic to see so many brilliant artists collaborating regularly and strengthening the Irish music community.
