Track of the Day: Tiny Fingers – The Fall

6th May 2015

Mixing live electronics with psychedelic post-rock, Israel’s Tiny Fingers caught our attention today with the incredible video for ‘The Fall’.

An atmospheric and sprawling piece of expansive, sci-fi inspired post-rock that wouldn’t sound out of place on the Bladerunner soundtrack, this is the first taster from their upcoming third album. Variously recalling the nuanced and ominous tones of genre-pioneers Mogwai, 65daysofstatic, or The Mars Volta, there’s plenty to love about this quartet’s powerful take on evoking a gritty alternate reality.

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.”
