Scottish post-alt-progressive trio Midas Fall drop the third single from their fifth studio album, Cold Waves Divide Us.
I Am Wrong thunders along on pounding rhythmic drums swirling around heavy swathes of low and delicate melodic highs. The accompanying video by Stephen Alexander keeps pace with a highly kinetic performance by dancer Amber Dollin, who ricochets and contorts to the music against a nocturnal urban landscape.
Says Elizabeth Heaton, “A lot of our music comes from a place of sadness and reflection, and takes its time to build and Layer. I Am Wrong comes from a much angrier place. We played around with this more aggressive sound using pounding drums and baritone guitars.
Lyrically it is about feeling trapped in a situation with someone where you feel never good enough, constantly criticised and like you can never win. When the self-doubt and insecurity turns to the realisation that you are being bullied, the result is a pretty pissed off song.
The video was filmed over the course of a night in Glasgow city centre. It is a nod to the 1981 film Possession where a woman becomes possessed in a Metro station. We are big fans of this era of horror so also wanted to integrate some Dario Argento style FX to add to the drama of the song.”
