Video: Falling Off Maps - 'All My Fears'

Check out the video for  'All My Fears', the third and final instalment of the storyline Falling Off Maps have been sharing in their innovative, reverse chronology video trilogy. 'All My Fears' follows on from 'Honest' and 'The Redeemer' providing a dramatic conclusion to a tale of betrayal, friendship, money and power.

Of the three videos, singer Dave Wright says:

 "Overall, it was quite an undertaking, and something very challenging for us... t's great to have that last piece of the puzzle out there. The idea was for each piece to stand alone, as well as contributing to the overall story. This final part jumps backwards and forwards in time, before and after the events of 'Honest'. We are looking forward to people watching all three and piecing it together for themselves".

Falling Off Maps have a coarse, organic, likeable sound whose frailty doesn't mean they will be easily quashed amongst other artists; instead it serves as a sharpness that should cut them a nice clean path through to an ever strengthening fan base.

Video: Falling Off Maps - 'The Redeemer'

 'The Redeemer' is the second single to be taken from Falling Off Maps' forthcoming debut album 'A Seaside Town In Winter' due for release in January 2014. With a single release date of  November 4th, the guys have unveiled an official video to support 'The Redeemer' which makes up the second part of the storyline in Falling Off Maps' reverse chronology video trilogy. 

Picking up before the events of 'Honest', the intriguing video for 'The Redeemer' again tells its story backwards, asserting questions and culminating interest as the narrative begins to unfold yet leaving you anticipating the next instalment of the story. The video is at once as raw, fragile and as desolate as Dave Wright's vocal performance but in this vulnerability is a real strength.

Video: Falling Off Maps - 'Honest'

 

'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."

With that being said, we like Falling Off Maps style, we like their focus and we love their sound; so give them a listen, we're sure you will too.
