“Fever” is the latest single and video from Come
Drag Me Down by One Finger Riot
“...if you think all one man bands sound alike, think
again. ...groovy melodic pop that is driven by technology... Rather magical...”
– Babysue
“‘Fever’ is about going back and forth between
apathy and obsession. It’s meant to be a mellow, hypnotic allusion to
inebriation,” says Faris McReynolds of the latest track from Come
Drag Me Down, his debut album as One Finger Riot.
McReynolds, the man behind this minimalist
avant-garde pop project (named for his concept of “pushing buttons
with one finger to arrive at something musical”), has also now issued a
perplexing video for the song.
“Shooting it was intense,” says McReynolds of
the clip directed by Maya Mercer. The video stars McReynolds himself
as a mysterious Tarantino-esque character and co-stars famed art
critic Peter Frank. Director Mercer explains that
the piece is “the short story of one man's odyssey and his search for
self-revival.”
“Fever” handily represents the mood of Come
Drag Me Down, an album that McReynolds describes being
about “the desolation and loneliness of Los Angeles at 3AM.”
One Finger Riot’s debut album Come Drag Me
Down is out now via Post Planetary Records. Faris
McReynolds is available for interviews. Contact Josh
Bloom at Fanatic for more information.
