Kneecap have shared a new track called “Sayōnara,” which is a collaboration with Paul Hartnoll of Orbital. Directed by Finn Keenan, the single’s music video features an appearance from Jamie-Lee O’Donnell from Derry Girls. The show is apparently quite popular in Northern Ireland.
Talking about appearing in the video, Jamie-Lee O’Donnell said: “I had the best time filming the ‘Sayōnara’ music video. Not only is it a massive banger of a track but the intense yet euphoric video is sure to be remembered. The creativity and vision of director, Finn, created a fantastic environment for us all to create something really special. I was delighted to have been asked to be involved in this project especially as I am already a huge fan of Kneecap's music and an admirer of their work overall.”
“Sayōnara” will also be available as as double A-sided 12-inch alongside “The Recap,” which arrived earlier this summer. The 12-inch will be available on both green and black vinyl, though if you wanted the green variant you may be out of luck as it was exclusively made available via the Kneecap Whatsapp group and is already sold out. The black variant is available to pre-order here ahead of its October 10 release.
