New Video – “When The Windows Shake”

The video for the song ‘When the Windows Shake’, taken from McCormack’s latest album “Cut Throat Lane”, was filmed by Choice Award winning singer-songwriter Adrian Crowley. A companion piece of sorts to the video he made for Barry’s song ‘Worse Things Happen at Sea’, which they filmed in Paris, this time they shot footage in the more familiar surrounds of Dublin city centre and amidst the faded grandeur of the promenade in Bray. Scenes of cheap raincoats, scraggy pigeons and some majestic views of Killiney Bay are juxtaposed with lyrics about a town under threat from apocalyptic flooding, social disorder and illegal tobacco products.

The songs on Barry’s latest album “Cut Throat Lane” were described by The Handsome Family’s lyricist Rennie Sparks as ‘gritty short films that deeply and sensitively evoke the dark, damp streets of modern Dublin…like James Joyce’s Dubliners McCormack’s new album is a story of Dublin told from many voices…turning dark doings into beautiful art’

The Irish Times gave it four stars, saying ‘there is surely not a better narrative lyricist in Ireland…brilliant’
