MANNEQUIN PUSSY share video for new single - Watch 'Nothing Like'

Mannequin Pussy release a mind bending video for their new single 'Nothing Like'. On the yearning song, which is anchored by a dancey, shuffling drumbeat from Kaleen Reading, Marisa Dabice's voice eventually morphs from a coo to a roar as she sings "Oh what's wrong with dreaming of burning all this down?". The video was generated using AI by director Connor Clarke.

Of the song, Dabice says " 'Nothing Like' is pure fantasy. Originally inspired by a stoned out night 6 years ago spent watching an episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer, in which Buffy is forced to kill her lover Angel, before he destroys the world. The song existed in fragments until it met it's final form last year. Young love is so often all consuming, dangerous and heightened to mythological proportions - 'Nothing Like' sort to mix the balance of both the light feelings of new love and the absolute depths that obsession can bring you to."
