nme.comAnna Prior – the drummer in Metronomy – has announced her debut solo EP and has shared its retro lead single ‘Fall Back’.READ MORE: Indie survivors Metronomy: “I like the idea that we stealthily succeeded in our own way”‘Fall Back’ features a thumping beat and bright synth sounds reminiscent of 90s dance music. “If I fall back on you / It’s hard to say what’s true / If I fall back on you / It’s hard to say what’s true,” she sings in the chorus.Speaking about the track in a press release, Prior said: “The song is about when I realised that love from a partner is never unconditional.
I think it’s where my lack of trust in relationships began, when my hyper independence began and when I started searching for people that I knew could never love me so I would never get hurt again.”Directed by Tom Furse, ‘Fall Back’s accompanying music video marks the second AI video he has created in collaboration with Prior.
The first was the visual for her track ‘Tech Não’.Speaking about the music videos, Prior said: “I wanted the two videos that Tom made to somehow link together – the characters he created in the Tech Não video felt like friends to me by this point – so I wanted this video to feel like I’d stepped into ‘room two’ of the club, everything shining, glittering and clean.
The antithesis to the anxiety inducing ‘main room’ of Tech Não.”Prior’s debut solo EP ‘Almost Love’ is set for release on June 13 via House Anxiety (Genesis Owusu, Courtney Barnett, Harvey Sutherland).
