PREMIERE: Tiny Fingers - "The Fall"

Get ready to feel anxious.

Honestly, this makes me kinda anxious. The slow pans with the accompanying reverbed guitars and wall of fuzzy synths inspire a serious sense of foreboding. Like The Happening, but much, much better. As the song spins on it builds to a swirling mass of mathy, ambient-tinged post-rock, while each frame is filled with gorgeously frigid landscapes—the characters that roam it are captured in slo-mo. It's a strange and unsettling union of sound and vision thanks to Isreali act Tiny Fingers.

Of the video the band's bassist, Boaz Bentur, had this to say: “The idea of the clip is to depict the awakening feeling we experience multiple times each day. A feeling we don't pay much attention to. The video shows transferring a person's own familiar, normal personal space into someplace new and unknown—a move based on a strong intuitive feeling. The footage illustrates this transition, which isn't always clear, between conscious to unconscious, and tangible to intangible. We worked on the video for months and spent hours with the director in an attempt to portray this and translate the music to visuals.”

It certainly feels like all the hard work has paid off here.
