Galway based songwriter New Pope has quietly developed an enduring mystique as a composer of endearingly self-reflective and reassuringly romantic songs. His music sometimes draws comparisons to Fionn Regan, David Kitt and Lou Reed through its drowsy, meandering profundity and nuanced narrative style. His video for Sea, River, Clouds was adapted from Begone Dull Care (1949), an animated film directed by Norman McLaren and Evelyn Lambart.
Sea, River, Clouds is a song about seeing someone finding themselves again.
