The Exact Opposite have released their new video for the track titled ‘FFS’ from their latest album ‘Skill Issue’. Brightly colored and genuine with a total splash of banger level originality, ‘FFS’ takes the listener for a wild ride with a combination of hope and heathen in the guise of a quirky style of guitar chords and brilliant vocal harmonies.
This is one of those tracks that feel like a true discovery when you, well, discover it. A consistent hook with a personality that really lets you in with that snarky smile on your face and that curiosity to find out more about those who made it.
About ‘FFS’
According to Jamie, “FFS is something I mutter under my breath with increasing and alarming frequency. I wrote this song about making the same mistakes over and over and not learning from it, which would generate an FFS. Then I realized that I’d written songs on this theme before, which generated an FFS. Then I realized I don’t really care, which also generates an FFS.” “I had the lyrics lined up before I had any music. One day I detuned my guitar with the hope of writing something sinister and slightly heavier and accidentally wrote this bright hopeful piece of music, so another fail, hence FFS got laid on top of it. The Exact Opposite of my intent.”
An inventive video is released the same day, following up the video for previous single Look At Him Go! that has racked up nearly 40,000 views on YouTube. The new video, conceived and directed by Nigel, suits the song’s vibe – driving with the top down feel good hit of the summer. Not that shooting it was easy for Jamie: “I was just told to put a box on my head and wander around various locations with varying levels of embarrassment and was assured it would all make sense in the end. Strangely enough I felt less self conscious in the shopping center than the majority of the people there. It was a lot of fun.”
