Jeff Rosenstock has returned with the announcement of his ninth studio album, Hellmode. The new record is set to drop September 1st via Polyvinyl. Today, Rosenstock shared a brand new single “Doubt” along with an accompanying anime-style music video. Earlier this year, Rosenstock released another single off of the upcoming album, “Liked U Better“, making “Doubt” our second taste. The animated video was created by members of the team behind Craig of the Creek, a show that Rosenstock soundtracks. Pretty cool!
Speaking on the music video for “Doubt”, Jeff Rosenstock shared: “I wanted to make an anime-inspired video that captures the feeling of dread you feel when you know you’re gonna have to deal with some bad shit, and then that bad shit ends up way worse than you had even imagined. I’ve also always wanted to make a video with some of the ridiculously talented artists at Craig of the Creek. We met up at Tony’s Darts Away in Burbank – which I feel obliged to shout out because they didn’t kick us out even though five of us sat outside there for about 3 hours and ordered one pretzel and one coffee in total.”
He continues: “Everyone started throwing ideas around and pretty quickly, Najja, Dashawn & Deena started sketching out their storyboards right there at the bar. Soon enough a tiny animation pipeline was formed with Cory and Jon and poof boom bang uh-oh video happened. It was pretty incredible to see it all come together!”
