YOU HAVE TO check out the beautiful new music video for Saint Sister’s single ‘Causing Trouble’.
The gorgeous scenes follow a pair of star-crossed lovers with have a magnetic connection. The melody is a haunting lullaby that complements the nostalgic lyrics of first love that didn’t withstand the growing pains of youth, but will always be there.
The video was directed by Brendan Canty: you’ll be familiar with his work as he was also the director behind Hozier’s phenomenal ‘Take Me To Church’ music video.
The soft colour palette of the video – full of dusty pink skies and fields of golden wheat – are reminiscent of slow and hazy summers in Ireland.
An amazing quality of the video is that it will speak to every Irish person, regardless of whether your first broken heart took place in a city or the country: the backdrop switches between Dublin train stations…
and country scenes of low rising purple mountains, where the only infrastructure are telephone masts.
Saint Sister are made up of singer-songwriters Morgan MacIntyre and Gemma Doherty, who knew each other as students in Trinity but only formed Saint Sister after graduating in 2014.
Within six months of forming they were opening for Win Butler of Arcade Fire and recorded ‘Madrid’ which amassed 1.5 million streams on Spotify.
They’ve played at SXSW in the US, Glastonbury, Latitude, Electric Picnic, Body & Soul and Longitude to name-check just a few festivals. If you’re lucky enough to be heading down to All Together Now this weekend, then they’re a must-see. They’re playing on Sunday at the SOMETHING KIND OF WONDERFUL stage at 16:15.
The duo are set to release a new album in the Autumn time
