The mini-album has six songs. So far “There’s A Darkness” has received the most streams of all the songs from that album. So, that is now rewarded with a stylish clip. “Several Perceptions”, the first single from A View From The Next Room, already got a clip before.

The theme ‘darkness’ is clearly included in the video. But it has also a cool and relaxed atmosphere in it. The footage in the videoclip is composed of short videos on their tour in Norway, Dublin’s Olympia, The Stables Mullingar and some additional footage from Transmission Rooms Studio in Drumlish.

The band has received a lot of praise before. Johnny Depp, for example, is very fond of the Irish. Nick Cave also had only positive words: “You sound like me, but in tune.”

Cronin have just dropped a new ‘snipe mix’ of the single “Several Perceptions”. It’s a taster of their upcoming mini album, A View From The Next Room, due out July 3rd.

The brand new album delivers the band’s “most experimental and diverse” set of songs to date. On the making of A View From the Next Room, Mick Cronin says: “Some of these mixes have been about for some time and others are relatively fresh. With us unable to work in the studio we thought now would be a good time to release these as a mini album. “It’s a diverse mix compared to our releases so far, it shows another side of what we have in our heads.”

The album title is a reference to the Henry Scott Holland poem Death Is Nothing at All. Following their work on Cronin’s critically acclaimed debut album The First Kiss of Love, Karl Odlum (Glen Hansard, The Frames), Ger McDonnell (U2, Manic Street Preachers) and Mick Cronin return as producers.

Cronin have also brought in outside instrumentalists and special guests like The Waterboys, whose violinist Steve Wickham features on two tracks. In addition, Damien Rice cello player Vivienne Long features on track Need and Terry Edwards (PJ Harvey, Gallon Drunk) on the remix of Little London.

Across the album’s six interrogative tracks the band displays inspired lyrics, deep orchestral arrangements and lifting hooks.

For the album artwork, the band enlisted DJ, photographer and Oasis brother Paul Gallagher.
