'Honest' is the haunting debut single from Nottingham's Falling Off Maps; an alternative/rock five-piece consisting of Dave Wright (vocals / guitar), Dane Prewett (bass / electronics), Joe Watts (guitar), Tom Harrison (piano) and Jay Wright (drums).Their sound has been aptly described as "somewhere between Radiohead, Bon Iver, Wild Beasts and early Elbow" which means that their debut album 'A Seaside Town In Winter' due for release later this year is one we are highly anticipating.
Due for release on 12th August through Square Peg Round Hole Recordings, 'Honest' is backed by an equally arousing video which you can see below, filmed, wirtten and directed by band members Dane Prewett, and David Wright. This video is the first of three to be released by the band and ties into one storyline which plays out through the videos in reverse. This is more easily explained by Dane when he says:
“Each video can be viewed with its own storyline but the idea for each one to be open ended and evocative appealed to us massively. It gives the viewer a chance to get involved more than if it was just a straight music promo, to be able to draw their own conclusions from what they see"
"Our love of cinema and storytelling and the freedom of taking the music into other mediums is integral to what we do as band. It is evident lyrically through the album, lots of snapshots of lives and stories that have very strong imagery. It just felt right to continue with that through the videos."
