Speaking on the new track, Jaclyn Heuser shares: “I Spend Too Much Time” became an outlet to really express my frustrations with how social media was taking up so much space in my head, especially these last few years. I found myself feeling jealous of the way others were living because I was feeling so stuck. I spent so much time scrolling and scrolling hoping to feel that inspiration or connection I desperately needed.”
Compliments to the new song, the band has shared a colorful, whimsical, and checkered filled visual that is sure to impress. There is something nostalgic about it, while still feeling new and fresh – the perfect blend of familiarity and uniqueness that creates a recipe for success. You can watch it right here!
