Words: Ellie Ward
French four-piece MNNQNS are working up to the release of their debut album 'Body Negative' - out on October 11 via FatCat Records - with the unveiling today of one of the record's energetic tracks, 'Fall Down'.
“The lyrics are inspired by a 60s Italian movie that I saw as a child and whose name I've forgotten," says vocalist Adrian D'Epinay, of the Rouen-based pop-punks Little Indie first happened upon three years ago when they put out 'Come To Your Senses'.
"It was a simple love story/road movie that ends up with the character abruptly falling off a cliff while driving. That was the first time I was confronted with a story that didn't have a happy ending so it stuck in my head for years. If anyone knows what film it is please let me know!"
The accompanying music video, directed by drummer Florent Woods Dubois, revolves around his initial idea to shoot a very fast sequence in a single time, then slow it down. "He wanted it to portray the life of the band on the road, where time is a strange thing that sometimes seems to extend endlessly, then speeds up in a second. The idea of wearing masks of ourselves was too much fun not to do it,” D'Epinay adds.
