The track arrives with a video directed by Maisy
Banks, member of Peckham-based darkroom collective BRAW and auteur behind music videos by mary in the junkyard and Gretel.
Speaking of the track, vocalist Rohan Fletcher shares, “‘Fucking
With My Head’ is turning anxiety into a person. Giving that feeling a presence so it’s easier to understand.”
The single follows the band’s debut EP, We All Feel the Same,
released last autumn. Fletchr Fletchr formed around songwriters Rohan
Fletcher and Adam Sanders, who have been making music together since
sixth form college. After going through breakups at the same time, they worked
through them by forming the band. The pair were later bonded further by
the passing of Rohan’s father, who they say was their biggest fan.
“That’s
when he became a Fletcher,” Rohan says of Adam. “We’re doing it in the
name of something now, rather than just for ourselves.”
The
band also includes drummer Oli Williams and bassist George Green, who
contributed to the writing process for the first time on the latest
material. After selling out several grassroots venues last year, they
completed a debut headline tour that concluded at a sold-out Dome in
London’s Tufnell Park.
Fletchr Fletchr played a stripped-back show at The Dartmouth
Arms in Tufnell Park on 12 June ahead of summer festival dates at Isle of Wight (19
June), Metronome Festival in Prague (21 June), Wilderness (31 July),
