Lights, camera, action. Marsicans have today released the picture perfect video for their track ‘Little Things’ and you can watch it first right here on Gigwise.
Featuring the band all squished into a photobooth together, as well as an appearance from frontman James Newbigging’s dog, the visuals ultimately depict the song’s meaning as an ode to the little things we love in life.
Detailing the video further, James explains, ”As the song is based around the little things in life which brighten your day, we thought it would be nice to showcase some of these in the video. Our long-time visual heroes Leeds film company Sodium got onboard and we invited a load of fans down to their studio. We asked people to bring their little things that make them happy and show it off in a photobooth setting. It could have been anything: a family heirloom, a teddy, a friend. I even brought my dog down for a guest appearance. It was so nice to spend the day with everyone and see their reactions when they were in the booth with their thing that they love.” See the video below:
Speaking about the track itself bassist and vocalist Rob Brander says, “'Little Things' is a song about the little things in life that keep you going. It began in rehearsal when James played us a frenetic guitar riff, accompanied by a lyric about being 'lost in the bread aisle'. We didn't worry too much about structure, letting the energy in the room dictate where we should take the song next. We ended up with lots of twists and turns - and quite a lot of grit in places. The lyrics were finished over a cup of tea at (drummer) Cale's, after an enjoyable writing process which featured lists of things that made us all happy. There were some gems that never made the cut, like a line about dropping your toast and it landing butter-side up. As always, our producer Mickey Dale helped us get the best out of the tune in the studio, on a healthy diet of poppadoms, and our friend Fern (Grammy-winning producer/mixer Fernando Lodeiro) delivered a mix that had us all totally buzzing.”
The new visuals come off the back of the announcement that the band will be headlining the BBC Introducing stage at this years Reading & Leeds Festival, which is sure to be yet another milestone ticked off the list for the quartet.
