There&#8217;s a constant feeling of having to look like you&#8217;ve got it all under control at all times, despite on the inside you&#8217;re actually falling apart. Additionally, May Fall strongly empathises with the imposter syndrome that many of us experience; the idea that despite being successful in what we&#8217;re doing, something sometime is going to fall off and expose us who who we truly are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8216;Under Cover&#8217; is an upbeat electronic track, that is impossible to listen to just the one time, and pays homage to the era of synth heroes such as Thomas Dolby, and Harold Faltermeyer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The accompanying music video for &#8216;Under Cover&#8217;, blends unusual visuals with vintage vibes, and at the same time giving it a modern edge. The clip, shot and co-directed by Adam Rabinovich, sees May Fall walking through dark and empty city streets, and the feeling of alienation and solitude is evident. Additionally, video artist Roteker has added graphics and obscure short clips onto the video, giving it a vintage feel, and further enhancing the discomforting vibes. As with the song, the music video demands playing on repeat, in order to fully appreciate what&#8217;s going on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watch the music video for &#8216;Under Cover&#8217;
