Man/Woman/Chainsaw have released their latest single ‘Nosedive’, alongside the announcement of their highly anticipated debut LP ‘Cannonball’.
Soft vocals sit atop a steady drumbeat with strings interweaving throughout, leaving space for the listener to ponder the lyrics that describe the stressors of a relationship through imagery of a broken bird wing. The bridge unconsciously builds, leading to a final outro of group vocals and climatic string instrumental.
Emmie-Mae, who has lead vocals on the track, shared more on its background – “it’s a song about longing for both comfort and freedom simultaneously in a relationship through the metaphor of being an injured bird needing shelter. We turned it into a danceable upbeat track, which made the tone shift throughout the song as though you find a way to pick yourself up and fly away.”
