Motion City Soundtrack just revealed their new album, The Same Old Wasted Wonderful World, out via Epitaph Records. On it, the group shared dazzling collabs, such as “Things Like This” with Sincere Engineer and “Particle Physics” with Fall Out Boy‘s Patrick Stump. In fact, the band also dropped a music video featuring Stump.
Guitarist Joshua Cain shares, “We met Patrick in the early days of Fall Out Boy and had more recently talked about having him contribute to this album. He told us he had an idea running through his head about a song Motion City Soundtrack would have written but haven’t written yet. It was this little riff and chorus to ‘Particle Physics’ and even though it was just part of the song, the vibe was completely there.”
Check out the Motion City Soundtrack and Stump collab below.
Of the album, vocalist Justin Courtney Pierre says, “I think that if you look at a lot of our past records, it’s about ‘What’s wrong? What am I not getting right? Why do I feel fucking crazy? Why can’t I figure this out’… and I figured it out. It’s almost like I felt I didn’t have an identity [in the past] and now by working through the hard stuff, I know who I am.”
