Muncie Girls Share Mental Health Conscious New Single Clinic
Thursday, 30 August 2018
Written by Helen Payne
The video for Muncie Girls’ new single is based on a 100 year old science experiment.
Dr. Carney Landis undertook his Facial Expressions Experiment in the 1920s to discover if all people had common facial expressions while reacting to various scenarios involving fear, joy, and disgust. By adapting this idea for their own means, the band confront and challenge the idea that everyone experiences mental health issues in the same way.
Written when she first had cognitive behavioural therapy for anxiety, vocalist Lande Hekt said of the track:
"It was a really fucking horrible time but I’m glad I wrote it down. This song is half about how important it is to get your mental health checked and ring the DAS, but it’s also about how long it all takes and how unbelievably underfunded it is. I have a lucky time with my mental health compared to so many people, and I have to think about how incredibly hard it is for so many people."
Clinic features on Muncie Girls’ second album, ‘Fixed Ideals’, which is out on August 31. They’ll follow up the release with tours across the UK, Europe and North America.
