Dream Nails release new music video for ‘This Is Water’

DREAM NAILS have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track This Is Water, is the brand new single from the feminist punk band and follows on from their previous single, Control, which was released in October last year.

For the new single, the band worked with producer and engineer Ali Chant [DRY CLEANING, KATY J PEARSON, SORRY, YARD ACT]. “We are so lucky to have worked with Ali on this song. He has worked with some true British icons,” shares bassist/vocalist Mimi Jasson. “With Ali, we indulged in our playful edge, experimenting with pedals and exploring sounds that teased out the themes of the song. When I said I wanted my voice to evoke something intimate on This is Water, he ran my vocals through a Hammond organ, the rotating Leslie speaker created a sound that resembles being underwater.”

“This song is inspired by a speech given by the late writer David Foster Wallace, who tells a story about two fish swimming along in the ocean,” explains drummer Lucy Katz. “One fish remarks, ‘The water’s nice today!’ to which the other fish replies, ‘What’s water?’ We are immersed in ourselves! The lyrics convey the idea of becoming so stuck in our own sticky experiences and identities that we struggle to truly relate to one another. We are all fish, and we are all swimming.”

Guitarist Anya Pearson adds, “the lyrics came from freewriting together, selecting lines and ideas that we wanted to connect like a deconstructed jigsaw puzzle. We’re embracing our weird side, walking a tightrope between the personal and the surreal.”
