Mise en Scene share "Love and War"

Winnipeg’s Mise en Scene today share the video for their new single “Love and War”.

“This song is a play on the old saying “all is fair in love and war”, explains Stef “but it’s also about the insecurities that accompany falling in love. It can feel like a battle...One thing we know is that the world has been falling in love and fighting wars since time began and with this song, we investigate the similarities that inherently exist between love and war."

Speaking on the making of the video Stef says, “It’s a makeshift world now with all these restrictions during a pandemic. We took to the quiet streets of our small town where we pranced in front of a laundry mat that also has an ice cream parlour...This place is a huge part of our childhood and we wanted to honour its vintage vibes under florescent lights while we lip-synced for our lives, slaying the song while whipping out our fiercest dance moves. Shante we both stay!"

The duo of guitarist/vocalist Stef Johnson and drummer Jodi Dunlop established that now-signature sonic foundation with their heralded debut, Desire’s Despair, and its follow-up, Still Life on Fire. The pair have become known for their delectable rock-rooted, reverb-drenched dream pop that perfectly meshes modern vibes with vintage charm.

Earlier this year Mise en Scene returned with new music with their single “Angel” along with a lyric video filmed on location in Los Angeles and during lockdown the pair brought people together from across Canada, the US and Europe for their video “Dance My Life Away”.
