Ye Vagabonds Tease 'All Tied Together' With New Track The Flood

Ye Vagabonds have shared another track from their upcoming fourth album.
Lively and fiddle-driven, The Flood serves up the Mac Gloinn brothers' signature folk harmonies and arrives with a video directed by Ellius Grace, who said:
"When Brían and Diarmuid got in touch about making music videos for their new album I couldn't say no. Their music is so evocative and beautiful, and this new album feels incredibly personal to them. It was an added bonus to hear that the guys had dancer Jimmy Southward on board, who I had seen on stage a number of times. This became a beautiful collaboration between all four of us, taking Brían and Diarmuid's ideas and translating them into loose stories which Jimmy then brought to life through his performance.
"Brían and Diarmuid also wanted to shoot these videos in a single take to capture a feeling of immediacy or reality. This became a great challenge where myself and the crew had to choreograph ourselves along with Jimmy to land in the right places and have everything work the way it should.
"The Flood is a song about the housing crisis, and how we live in urban spaces that can sometimes feel prohibitive and impossible to survive in. Jimmy takes on the character of a businessman with a supposedly successful job, though he's still living in a tent in Phoenix Park. He gets up and goes to work, smiling and waving at passersby, but something moves him as he goes. His body convulses and he becomes more and more out of control. The briefcase is full of random objects and he throws that away eventually along with his phone, stripping away the veneer of a happy worker and becoming free. The more he succumbs to the movement and supposed madness, the happier he becomes. He doesn't need to pretend any more."
The track offers a second glimpse of 'All Tied Together', due out on January 30 via Rough Trade's River Lea imprint, following the Irish band's earlier single On Sitric Road, which dropped in November with a live video recorded in Dublin.
The follow-up to 2022's 'Nine Waves' was recorded live in a Galway house with acclaimed producer Philip Weinrobe, who's worked with Big Thief and Adrianne Lenker.
Diarmuid and Brían will wrap up the year with a run of Irish dates beginning this weekend, before embarking on a US tour early next year, followed by dates across the UK, Ireland and Europe. Tickets are on sale now.
