Fallowfield Loops
“Fallowfield Loops” is a punchy, melancholic, and danceable tribute to their hometown.
Built on collaboration and introspection, “Fallowfield Loops” the spirit of the album’s broader themes. “It’s one of the earliest pieces we started for Necessary Fictions,” the band explains. “There’s a quiet sadness in it, but also rhythm and momentum — a sense of moving forward. The title is a nod to a hidden greenway near where we live in South Manchester — an old railway line turned peaceful urban escape.”
The accompanying video — directed by pianist Chris Illingworth and bassist Nick Blacka — features evocative visuals of Manchester’s iconic Toast Rack building, the brutalist landmark seen on the album’s cover, and serves as a visual extension of the track’s mood: stark, nostalgic, and full of movement.
