Following on from the recent announcement of their new album The Cadences of Others, We Cut Corners today release the video for their newest single ‘Oh’.
The single is the follow up to their summer radio hit, ‘On Avoiding People’, and the double a-side features a cover of Sinead O’Connor’s track ‘Mandinka’, featuring Booka Brass.
'Oh' is the band's take on love gone stale and John Duignan's vulnerable, powerful vocals ring out over the simple instrumental arrangement. The video features clips that show the banality and frustration of a relationship gone sour, interspersed with close ups of Duignan, who makes the heartfelt appeal: "I'd love to know how much love we need to throw into this blackhole/Until we can be truly happy, or at least consolable".
The self-produced album, The Cadences of Others, was recorded in a church in the Dublin suburbs and was mastered by Josh Bonati (Sufjan Stevens, Mac DeMarco, Tallest Man On Earth). The album features contributions from Villagers’ Conor O’Brien on bass, members of Booka Brass and the Fratres String Quintet. It will be released on November 4.
Both We Cut Corners’ debut and sophomore albums were nominated for the Choice Music Prize for Irish Album of the Year.
