The Mary Onettes: "The Night Before The Funeral" Video



The Mary Onettes have released a video for their latest song, "The Night Before The Funeral". Apparently they now sound "a bit like a descendant of The Go Betweens and The Stone Roses high on Swedish mountains mixed with A-ha in a gothic church". Go figure.

The "The Night Before The Funeral" is Philip of The Mary Onettes' debut as a director. The video connects very strongly to him and bandmate/brother Henrik who plays the main character in the video.

All the places you see in the video have strong ties to his and his brother Henrik's childhood. The forest that you see is the forest where Philip hung out with the association "Friluftsfrämjandet" every Saturday for eight years. The football pitch is located just around the corner from the house where they grew up in. The beach was where they used to go in the summer when they were kids. The apartment where Henrik picks up a guitar is their grandmother's old apartment.


"The Night Before The Funeral" single has been released on digital format and you can purchase it through iTunes.
