We took to the woods at this years Electric Picnic and invited some of our favourite Irish acts to come join us. We've been dying to film with Spook for some time now, and we're blown away by this awesome rendition of "Sweeney's Frenzy" from The Brutal Here And Now

A broken bell, a broken bell
A broken bell won't chime again
The idiot man, gone to hell
Returns again and who's too blame?
The olden ways have had their days
A skulking in the shadows oh
King Sweeney sits upon the brink
And down he comes a crashing oh

And into the air, and into the air
No memory no love no care
And into the air, and into the air
But for the birds and a bird's share
And into the air, and into the air
A mess of tongues, nonsense and sense
And into the air, and into the air
To make amends and give penance

Stuck he seethes, he bites the hand
He lunges at the holy man
A murderer, a murderer
Cursed is he to wander mad
The battle's roar, the chattering teeth
The sickening fear that lies beneath
The noise, the noise, he covers his ears
He turns. He runs. He disappears

The fallen king is falling still
Upon the bleakest of bleak hills
In frenzy yet there are no words
In frenzy yet disturbed, disturbed.
Reeling in the reeling hell
The sacred stone now holy well
The mind is creaks, it sparks and swells
Round seven times, a broken bell

Held in drone
Repeated again and again
In monotone
The words they have lost all sense

Wake up with a start, not morning yet but still
Birdsong and fluttering a sudden stab of fear
Wake up to find everything has changed
