MIDAS FALL SHARE NEW VIDEO FOR ‘I AM WRONG”
15th February 2024Scottish post-alt-progressive trio Midas Fall dropped the third single from their fifth studio album, Cold Waves Divide Us.
I Am Wrong thunders along on pounding rhythmic drums swirling around heavy swathes of low and delicate melodic highs. The accompanying video by Stephen Alexander keeps pace with a highly kinetic performance by dancer Amber Dollin, who ricochets and contorts to the music against a nocturnal urban landscape.
Says Elizabeth Heaton, “A lot of our music comes from a place of sadness and reflection, and takes its time to build and Layer. I Am Wrong comes from a much angrier place. We played around with this more aggressive sound using pounding drums and baritone guitars.
Lyrically it is about feeling trapped in a situation with someone where you feel never good enough, constantly criticised, and like you can never win. When the self-doubt and insecurity turn to the realization that you are being bullied, the result is a pretty pissed-off song.
The video was filmed throughout a night in Glasgow city center. It is a nod to the 1981 film Possession where a woman becomes possessed in a Metro station. We are big fans of this era of horror so also wanted to integrate some Dario Argento-style FX to add to the drama of the song.”
Video directed and filmed by Stephen Alexander
Choreography and dancing by Amber Dollin.
Cold Waves Divide Us will be released on 8th March, digitally, as well as on CD and a limited pressing of 500 LPs on 180g vinyl (150 black, 350 clear with orange and black splatter).Pre-order here: https://tinyurl.com/MidasFall
