January 2, 2019 For Immediate Release

Kirin J. Callinan Drops The World’s First, and Arguably Greatest Music Video of the 2020s For “The Homosexual” WATCH HERE ​ ​

Co-Produced The Voidz New Single with Mac DeMarco, Performed as Master of Ceremony for The Strokes NYE Show At Barclays Stadium

To start the new decade just as he ended the last, Kirin J Callinan’s unique, singular talent ​ comes to the fore again via the grand and sumptuous music video for his strangely autobiographical cover version of the underground Momus classic “The Homosexual,” lifted ​ ​ ​ from his third studio album, Return To Center, out now on Terrible Records. ​ ​ ​ ​

Directed by Michael Hili and conceptualized by Kirin, the video dropped as the clock striked ​ ​ midnight on NYE, making it the first video released in the world this decade. The crushing hand of time will decide if it remains the greatest!

On New Year’s Eve Callinan shared the 20,000 seater Barclay stage in New York alongside The Strokes and Mac Demarco. Kirin, Mac and Julian Casablancas also recently colluded to produce the latest single ‘Did My Best’ for ‘The Voidz’. Earlier this month,Callinan has been filming the lead role in the debut feature film for acclaimed commercial director Daniel Askill. Askill directed the Grammy-nominated videos with for ‘Chandelier’ and ‘’.

He’s also been a strong contender on many best of decades list for his last album of original material, Bravado, and it’s meme-able single “Big Enough”. UNESCO in their review of ​ ​ ​ ​ biggest moments of culture and science of the decade compiled a list of the greatest albums released in the world this past decade and they included Kirin J Callinan’s Bravado in their ​ ​ 2010's time capsule – see HERE. Indiewire nominated “Big Enough” as one of The Best Music ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Videos of the Decade while Paste Magazine also include it in their list of Best of the Decade. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​
