The song is the latest release off their upcoming album, Sweet Spot
Avant-garde duo Pinhole have released the video to their latest single, ‘I Want Desire', premiered below.
Based between Dingle and Cork, the duo comprises of Mark McLoughlin and Ciara O’Flynn, who both hail from artistic backgrounds. O'Flynn is a graduate from Cork's Crawford art college, while McLoughlin has worked as a documentary maker.
Their artistic experience is evident from both the single and the video.
The song is an atmospheric listen- the electronic instrumentals and steady percussion both compliment and contrast the soft vocals, creating a tense feeling as the song builds.
When the song reaches its chorus all tension is released, as O’Flynn demonstrates her vocal ability. Proclaiming "I want desire", her voice is accompanied by a galloping beat, as the drums that have been slowly building find their rhythm.
The single is the latest single off Pinhole’s upcoming debut album, Sweet Spot, set to be released on October 11.

Directed by students in Dingle’s 'Principles of Film' course, the video is a visually striking tour of the region's most impressive landscapes.
Speaking about the track, Pinhole said “The song was written thinking about the role of desire and the sensual in life and how we need them to remain healthy and full of vitality.”
“Our culture is so hell-bent in speeding us up. Speed and sensuousness are practically incompatible, so the song is essentially a resistance to hurrying up, instead asking us to slow down and tune into the body and our spirit—the things that really matter”
