Seamus Fogarty recounts a night spent in a church in ‘Carlow Town’
Following the news that he had signed to Domino and the sharing of a song about the giant Irishman Charles Byrne, Seamus Fogarty has revealed a second song from his album The Curious Hand out October 6th.
‘Carlow Town’ recounts a night spent sleeping in a church in Carlow with Fogarty’s most immediate production yet backing him.
The video by Jack Barraclough with hand drawn animation courtesy of Finnish artist Venla Linna features Fogarty alongside his bandmates Emma Smith and Aram Zarikian in a number of unusual poses as they work their way through a series of choreographed adventures.
