Wonderland Magazine - Interview - Feb 28 2024

The band — which consists of artists dodie, Orla Gartland, Greta Isaac and Martin Luke Brown — tells us about the origins of the project and its visual identity, and lets us inside with some BTS from their shoot.

“The whole FIZZ gang! We look really sad here but believe it or not this shoot was a truly joyous experience”

From FIZZ: Sometimes in life, you sit round a kitchen table with your friend-family and throw around a dream idea with each other. It could be; “let’s move to the countryside, build ourselves a little commune with a vegetable garden and cook dinners for each other every night”. Or perhaps; “let’s start a band using all of our experience of the music industry we’ve gathered over 10 years of being solo artists and write the most unserious, least-pressured album that is bursting with joy and saturation. Then let’s build a world of circus-y, wild lore around the whole thing in which we all live in an imaginary part theme-park, part alien-town called FIZZVILLE complete with a strawberry jam volcano, fireworks and ferris wheels.”

“Secret To Life” video BTS — Dodie wears collar & trousers RENLI SU and dress DALSTON COSTUME HIRE; Martin wears shirt, suit & trousers VIVIENNE WESTWOOD and cape & hat DALSTON COSTUME HIRE; Greta wears bodysuit & cap PRANGSTA COSTUMIERS; Orla wears shirt DALSTON COSTUME HIRE, corset CAT O’BRIEN, trousers FRASER, belt ROSIE EVANS, and earrings THE VXLLEY “These photos were taken on set for our music video for ‘The Secret To Life’ – shoutout to our photographer Karina Barberis for always capturing each moment perfectly. These were taken right before we had to chain smoke 20 cigarettes just to get one shot (worth it).”

The commune is yet to be built, but our wacky, wonky, maximalist band idea somehow grew legs and crawled its way over to our favourite studio to record an album under the band-name; ‘FIZZ’. Our record needed some accompanying visuals, and so in May ’23 our baby band travelled to Barcelona to work with an incredible creative director and his team – JP Bonino and ‘The Rats’; a creative collective we knew could match our vision of an alternative world. Our darling friend and visionary Karina Barberis came along to capture the vibes.

This was our first photoshoot as a band, and the novelty of it all was exhilarating; focussed makeup artists and hair stylists would be flicking their brushes on cheeks and tugging extensions on hair, all while we watched our glossy best friends pose to imaginary scenes dreamed up by JP, jumping on trampolines to his encouraging directions between camera flashes. “The joke’s gone too far, guys” – a quip we found ourselves saying constantly, to try and process the huge gratitude and luck we felt to have such a talented team on our side.

The FIZZ family portrait that came from that shoot was the first time we sat together as a band – a familiar feeling of being in front of the camera but with an added giddiness of feeling part of something bigger, the weight of standing alone shared.

After a whirlwind album release, we bookended our campaign with the music video for “The Secret To Life” – a meta, Truman show-esc story created by director Lulu Vicedomini and brought to life by another dedicated team, including Art Directors Studio GAAS and our favourite stylist, Rubina Marchiori. The novelty of sharing space on set together was still very much alive – smoking cigarettes and miming to our own song, as if we had stepped into an imaginary playground game. But 6 months on from our Barcelona shoot something felt different – we had settled into ourselves individually and as a group, and we felt comfortable standing there in our outfits crafted by Rubina, mixing our own personal styles with the funhouse brief from Lulu’s world. We positioned ourselves together on camera, adjusting automatically to our wild range in height as a band and making sure to equally disperse attention – this was not our first rodeo anymore!

Épisode 2

Il était 19 heures, Ray allait appuyer sur la sonnette quand Simone ouvrit soudainement et l'invita à entrer.

Ray était un peu fatigué et trouvait qu'il prenait du ventre.

Ray se vautra sur le canapé et consulta un livre posé sur la table basse, c'était une des œuvres de Gracien Baltazar.

Simone vouait un véritable culte à ce philosophe Espagnol du 17ème siècle au point d'en distribuer à pas mal de ses connaissances.

Il avait eût le temps d'en lire quelques lignes , Simone déposa les verres de vodka sur la table basse et entama directement la discussion puis en s'adressant a Ray :

- quel plaisir ! je n'étais pas sûre que tu viennes...

- quoi... bof ! j'étais chez le médecin dit-il

- Tu es malade ?

- pas vraiment ! je suis fatigué

- rien de grave alors rétorqua Simone en remplissant de nouveau les verres.

Le fait d'affirmer cela déprimait Ray , il y vit une petite défaite.

Ray sourit en regardant Simone, il l'admirait parce qu'elle était toujours en forme et optimiste quoiqu'il arrive.

- figure toi que j'ai commencé à lire ton Baltazar dit Ray lui-même surpris de son exploit

- Tu me fais plaisir Ray ! tu ne peux pas t'imaginer à quel point

- j'imagine ! dit-il en souriant

- qu'est-ce que t'en as pensé s'emballa Simone

- c'est trop tôt pour en parler s'exclama Ray

Simone se leva et l'embrassa avec une ferveur inhabituelle.

Un disque de Sarah Vaughan tournait sur la platine Ray écoutait...

- un je ne sais quoi , un presque rien comme dit Baltazar affirma Simone

- ouais ! glapit Ray

Ils s'envoyèrent un nouveau verre , Ray renchérit :

- il affirmait que l'on commence à chercher la manière puis on finit par faire des manières... dit Ray...

- je vois que tu fais des manières dit Simone en lui caressant l'entrejambe

- mais non ! s'exclama Ray en lui tripotant les seins.

Simone riait aux éclats , elle posa la main sur son sexe, Ray surpris s'étouffa avec sa vodka.

Ils chahutèrent encore un moment. Ils aimaient bien se taquiner. Simone se resservit un verre Ray declina son tour.

- Tu es au régime ? demanda-elle

- Non ! mais je fais attention

- Ah mon pauvre ! garde tes forces pour moi dit-elle en riant.

- exactement ma grande...

Ray se rapprocha de son amie pour lui passer la main entre les cuisses, Simone l'embrassait tendrement.

Dans la chambre de Simone le lit était très large et en acier, ça mettait directement dans l'ambiance.

Il avait du mal à tenir sur ses jambes, l'alcool, la fatigue avaient raison de lui.

Pour Ray sauter Simone ce soir relevait de l'exploit, d'un effort surhumain.

Il avait surestimé ses forces, Ray s'en rendait compte et se posait la question : comment agir avec modération tout en étant discret et surtout ne pas éveiller l'attention de son amie et ne pas la vexer...

Simone langoureuse se serra contre lui, Ray lui saisit les hanches en l'embrassant, Simone le fit basculer sur le lit , l'espace d'un instant Ray vit que ses yeux brillaient étrangement. Il y voyait une pointe d'espièglerie...

Allait-elle s'adonner à un jeu sensuel ?

Simone voulait baiser maintenant, elle se déshabilla et lui laboura le torse avec application, sa bouche laissait couler un filet de salive, elle gueula :

- maintenant Ray

Très inspiré Ray répondit :

- ouais ! ouais !

Au bout de quelques instants, Simone totalement délurée lui dit :

- ferme les yeux et ne bouge pas ! je reviens...

Ray s'executa, il devinait Simone qui s'agitait vers son armoire, il entendit des cliquetis inquiétants, quand il ouvrit les yeux il vit qu'elle lui passait les bracelets, maintenant Simone le chevauchait comme un cow- boy en lui filant des coups de martinet. Ray avait mal.

Il pensa qu'elle ne s'arrangeait pas , il la voyait bien finir dans le milieu SM.

Son armoire restée ouverte, montrait tout un tas d'ustensiles dédié au SM.

Ray savait qu'elle avait acheté des tenues vestimentaires qui allaient de l'infirmière à la policière, il l'imaginait accueillir des clients qui paieraient très cher la séance.

Il ne lui fit pas part de ses réflexions, il craignait qu'elle le prit mal. Très mal.

Simone se braqua d'un seul coup et s'empara d'un fouet clouté dont Ray goûta les caresses que modérément. Il voulait en finir rapidement.

Il gueula :

- arrête Simone ! j'ai mal !

Simone le détacha et dit :

- petite nature !

Ils finirent par s'endormir l'un contre l'autre.

I just wanted to say thank you for being open about your identity and kinks. Your openness, alongside several other folks on here, helped us figure our own identity out, and has helped us start being more open about our kinks as well <3

Do you think Taylor gets her friends sign NDA or contracts so she can partially tell them what to do.

Like with putting Ryan and blakes kids names in songs.

I feel like blake sorta likes it because she; to me, gives mean girl. But, Ryan I would have thought he'd be a bit more stand offish.

I've started watching her tactics more ever since she befriended sabrina after the whole oliva thing.

I also feel like gracie Abrams is only a pin for her string to get close to jj abrams. Also gracien s friends with kardashians and hailey so it's all a little strange. Taylor doesn't seem to be a good friend if she's going after people who her other friends have or have had beef with.

I wonder if anyone else will call her out, maybe billie with do something.

Like do ylu think anyone will get taylors true colours to show again?

No, I don't think she asks fellow A listers to sign NDAs. They'd run a mile from the friendship if she did.
