KNEECAP share video for 'Irish Goodbye' starring Liam Cunningham

Ahead of the release of their new album this week, KNEECAP have released 12-minute short film for their newest track 'Irish Goodbye', starring Liam Cunningham and directed by Thomas James.

Released yesterday, 'Irish Goodbye'’s music was written by Fontaines D.C. and Black Midi collaborator Dan Carey and features English spoken word artist Kae Tempest.

It was written by Móglaí Bap about his sadly departed mother, and written after seeing her in a documentary, which someone had sent to his brother, about his father in the 90s, when he was president of Conradh na Gaeilge.

Check out the new music video below:

Speaking on social media, Móglaí Bap explained that the footage had a profound impact on him as his mother, who suffered from depression and died by suicide, looked happy in it.

"‘Irish Goodbye’ is about the mundane things me and my Ma did together” Móglaí Bap wrote. “I never realised it was the day to day stuff I would miss when she was gone; going for a walk in the park, her giving out to me or keeping me in line, offering me pieces of advice. It's all the small things that you miss.”

KNEECAP's upcoming album FENIAN will be released this Friday, May 1.
