English indie-pop act Mt. Misery has released the music video for their single "The Thought of Losing You" today.

The animated visual, which can be seen below, was directed by Marcus Diamond, who said this about working on the video:

"The loose idea really was to invoke a sense of falling or floating as the track really does this. When you’re into something that much and it seems really vulnerable or could simply be lost really quickly. Also it’s very melancholic and evokes memories so it was partly based around how memories in your head aren’t stable and overlap - when looking at an old photograph for example."

Mt. Misery vocalist Andrew Smith said this about the track:

“I’d been tinkering with the intro to “The Thought of Losing You” since before we formed the band. It was just something Lewis and Ste had occasionally heard me play when I was at a piano, and we eventually demoed that intro section with the intention of turning it into a full song.

We wanted the song to sound like something from Neil Young’s Live at Massey Hall record, in the vein of songs like “Love In Mind” and “Bad Fog of Loneliness” that are short and sweet with really simple structures and not a lot of repetition.

The photographs in the video, like the ones on the cover of our album, were taken on the Farne Islands off the Northumberland coast."

"The Thought of Losing You" comes from Mt. Misery’s debut album Once Home, No Longer, which is out now via Prefect Records.
