Words: Sam Geary
Directed by the band's Sean Soloman (with additional animation by Sarah Schmidt), Los Angeles-based post-punk trio Moaning precede their ‘Uneasy Laughter’ full-length (out March 20 via Sub Pop), with this track cut.
"People my age are sceptical of love because we see how many previous generations got divorced or went through painful experiences," says Solomon of 'Fall in Love'. "The song is about being afraid to fall in love because of expecting heartbreak. It's about hating yourself too much to open yourself up to someone else. It's a bummer of a song lyrically but it's pretty fun to dance to!"
The video - "made in my bedroom a couple weeks ago" - is a psychedelic depiction of an imaginary romance. "It's inspired by early experimental animations like Belladonna of Sadness and Heavy Metal," he adds. "Both the song and the video are perfect for everyone feeling like shit this Valentine's Day."
