Alexisonfire Deliver New Music Video For “Mistaken Information”
Alexisonfire is back, and they aren’t done sharing new pieces from their comeback album Otherness, released earlier this year. Sharing the music video for “Mistaken Information,” the video was directed by Nedda Afsari and the creative team at Muted Widows, who also shot the album artwork. The same models and actors are featured in both the Otherness artwork and the new video. With Otherness being called the band’s most cohesive and self-actualized record to date, the connection between the album artwork and the latest video release feels perfectly fitting.
“It was a wonderful experience to create the video for “Mistaken Information” for the incredible Alexisonfire,” Muted Widows states, offering insight into the overall vision. “We appreciate how receptive they were to the concept after listening to the song — immediately feeling a sort of hypnotic tone. The video is abstract in nature and much more about feeling.”
Matching the haunting nature of the track, the music video has an underlying melancholic vibe. The overall darkness of the video, the fluid and graceful, though sometimes unnatural movements of the characters and the quick cuts between scenes amplify what’s already a strong, introspective track.
Afsari concurs, saying. “I love working on all-encompassing projects, making videos that tie into photos for album art. Michael E. Linn shot tons of footage for the album photo shoot and knew we wanted to incorporate that into [this video]. We created a deja vu world where dreams blend with reality, and nothing is certain.”
Otherness features 10 original songs including the explosive first single, “Sweet Dreams Of Otherness”, which was followed by banger “Reverse The Curse” and “Sans Soleil”. Alexisonfire will be touring the USA, the UK and Europe, after spending some time playing in Canada this summer.
