To celebrate the fact that we didn't die in some sort of apocalyptic night, Canadian pop rock band Marianas Trench have released the music video of latest single, "Stutter," the fourth single from the pop-rock quartet's third studio album, "Ever After," which is in stores now. The band have been successfully bring a theatrical epic destined to reign supreme in the ears of all mainstream audiences, fans, and critics alike.
"Ever After" is a concept album that tells the story of a man awakening in a land run by Queen Carolina, who uses her factory to build toys that steal hearts. The man goes on a mission to find Porcelain: the missing, heartless, adopted daughter of the former king. She holds a piece of a key that opens a chest that will allow him to return home... or something like that. If it makes zero sense, don't feel bad. Despite the story sounding like a bad Nintendo Wii game, it takes absolutely nothing away from "Ever After" overall. If anything, it shows the much admired ambition of Marianas Trench, and the fact that they can make an album of this brand work so well.
Josh Ramsay, the lead vocalist explained in an interview with AOL Music about the inspiration behind the "story" that is "Ever After," which "is a fairy tale, it takes the listener on a journey into a dark, mythical world, and helps them to find their way home when all is said and done. The story is inspired by both our own personal experiences and fairy tales of our childhood." Marianas Trench certainly aren't unfamiliar with the concept route in general and "Ever After" demonstrates exactly how to actualize this feat. For records in this vein, it's not only about the story, but the execution as well and the execution here is damn near flawless.
"Stutter" provides a break from the dramatic ballad as they're absolutely massive pop numbers that are huge on substance, catchiness, and production, which is a formula Marianas Trench has down to a science. True to the band's nature, the video is a bit kooky, tons of fun and very creative. For "Stutter," the band heads to the swingin' Big Band era of the 1940s. They attempt to blend into the crowd by practicing their jive moves while avoiding a stern-looking police officer and her posse.
