Finom – Cyclops

Finom – the Chicago-based band co-fronted by Sima Cunningham and Macie Stewart, formerly known as Ohmme – will release their new record, Not God, on May 24th via Joyful Noise Recordings.

Today, they present a new single, “Cyclops,” alongside a  video directed by Mannequin Pussy’s Marisa “Missy” Dabice. “Cyclops” pulses with a fuzzy bass line and Finom’s signature harmonies.

There’s a boisterous tension in its instrumentation, which is captured in the accompanying video. It features Cunningham and Stewart as eccentrically-dressed boxers, joining together to take on an evil force in the ring. “Your band is your own personal Odyssey,” explains the band. “You have to want to go on it, you have to fight for it, you have to live for it. I think this song is reacting to some of the subtle undercurrents and mental demons we’ve had to fight off when it comes to persisting as a band. But also, really thinking about battling a cyclops and all of the injury you endure to make it through to the other side.”
