“Embracism is a left hook to the face that doesn’t want to be liked so much as it needs to leave a mark” – Pitchfork

“You are moist with sweat” –

Kirin J Callinan, Australia’s most charismatic and confronting musician reveals the video for his latest single ‘EMBRACISM’. The title track of his long-awaited debut, it has already drawn critical praise and intrigue from international and local media for its dangerous lyrics and intense guitar work.

Directed by Cara Stricker, the video for ‘EMBRACISM’ is an evolution from Callinan’s triple j award winning clip for song ‘Way II War’. It provides a challenging and intoxicating visual piece that demands attention. Daring in its physicality, it follows Callinan in his morning routine.

Kirin J Callinan’s debut album, EMBRACISM, will be released on 28 June 2013 via Siberia Records / Terrible Records in partnership with XL Recordings.

Returning from a series of shows in Europe and North America, Callinan will play a selection of special album launch performances complimented by a full band. Joining him on tour will be special guests Standish/Carlyon.
