MNNQNS (pronounced as Mannequins) has sent ripples throughout the music industry with their post-punk infused rock music. This group hails from Rouen, France, and has been garnering attention since the release of their 2019 album, "Body Negative". Their music, intense and broody, straddles between raw garage rock and thoughtful post-punk, leaving listeners intrigued. But what sets them apart from other artists are their music videos.
Take the video for their single, "NotWhatYouThoughtYouKnew." It's a hypnotizing blend of contrasting shots that keeps viewers engaged, echoing the raw, chaotic essence of the song. Interestingly, the video was shot vertically, a playful nod to the social media-savvy audience who live in the world of Instagram stories and Tiktok. And while the band members themselves do not appear much in their videos, they rely on stark images and gripping narratives that deepen the impact of their music.
The music video of their song "Wire (Down to the)" is another captivating narrative piece. Shot in black and white, it tells the story of a bizarre dinner party that turns progressively unsettling. The unexpected ending leaves viewers baffled yet somehow moved, an excellent reflection of MNNQNS' cunning ability to disrupt the ordinary. While the band continues to make waves in the musical landscape, their remarkable ability to tell stories using both auditory and visual mediums signifies their significant contribution to the industry.
