Nothing But Thieves have premiered visuals for Real Love Song with their new album Moral Panic due on October 9th.
“As an audience, we are often presented something that is excessive or overblown, especially when it comes to love stories,” the band say. “We wanted the video to capture the irony of the song whilst making sure it was still affecting. This is a song within a song and the video, with its nods to the modern relationship and its sensationalised band moments, tell two sides of the same story.”
“Where does the cynicism end and the real begin? It was amazing to work with Basak and her team who totally got where we were going and created a story that works on these different levels. This is a love song, so what?”
The track was produced by The 1975, Arctic Monkeys and Wolf Alice cohort Mike Crossey, and got its premiere as Annie Mac’s Hottest Record In The World on BBC Radio 1.
