Sep 23, 2016 By Christopher Roberts Fear of Men

British trio Fear of Men (Jessica Weiss, Daniel Falvey, and Michael Miles) released their sophomore full-length album, Fall Forever, back in June via Kanine. Now they have shared a video for “Sane.” Rosie Carr and Lucy Jones directed the video, which features frontwoman Jessica Weiss in a secluded garden. Watch it below, followed by the band’s upcoming tour dates.

Carr and Jones commented on the video: “In Jess’s lyrics, we felt a sense of conflict between dependence and detachment to someone, or something. We wanted to explore the notion of ‘separating’ through a physical process, like the transitional conflict between states of liquid and solid metal. We wanted to create a numinous world that explores this push and pull between flesh and stone. The garden in the video belongs to sculptor Judy Wiseman. It’s a magical place, hidden away in North London suburbia, full of secret walkways, casts of various body parts, and ritualistic circles of bones. The garden is soon to be dismantled, so we hope that this video also serves as a lasting imprint of its enigma and charm.”

The album is the follow-up to the Brighton-based band’s 2014-released debut Loom. Frontwoman Weiss calls Fall Forever “a love album” and says in a press release that it’s a “very personal and genuine record exploring where my life is at the moment.”
