Director Hugh Mulhern, who Dn last featured as part of our coverage of the Nfts graduate showcase last year, returns today with a new Riff Raff Films produced music video for artist Hak Baker. Mulhern’s video is a chaotic blaze of live action and animation, showcasing the pure chaos of a night on the town through a blend of forms and styles. The seedy, twisted imagery of the animation in particular feels like it could be lifted from a Robert Crumb comic or Ralph Bakshi’s controversial Fritz the Cat and the frenetic camerawork perfectly reflects the descending feeling of losing your inhibitions. With the video’s recent online release, Dn discussed the process of making it with Mulhern, talking through the challenge of blending animation and live action footage, the equipment necessary to pull it off, and the freeing creativity afforded to filmmakers through making music videos.

Fontaines D.C. grapple with the dilution and disruption of Irish culture abroad on their new song “Skinty Fia,” the title track from the outfit’s upcoming album, out April 22 via Partisan Records.
“Skinty Fia” moves at a quick but menacing pace, the clang in the percussion echoing over an ominous churn of guitars and synths. Lyrically, the song uses a metaphor of a doomed relationship to explore some of the ideas the term “Skinty Fia” — an old Irish swear meaning “the damnation of the deer” — conjured for Fontaines D.
