Phoenix, AZ-based garbage pop veterans AJJ will release ‘The Bible 2‘ on August 19th via SideOneDummy Records, with a limited edition Pink / Green Marble coloured vinyl version available locally through Poison City Records [Here].
For their sixth album, AJJ chose to reinforce their strengths and leave any limp frivolities behind. They reconvened with producer John Congleton (St. Vincent, Xiu Xiu, Chelsea Wolfe), who oversaw 2014’s sonically expansive ‘Christmas Island‘, but recorded and mixed the album in a mere nine days, having arranged most of the songs during tour sound checks and down-time in the van. This made for a confident stride into more elaborate arrangements and wider dynamics while staying just as dour.
They also opted, amid some sensation, for the simplified band acronym (previously Andrew Jackson Jihad).
With only a microscopic budget and a violent urge to create the most amazing music video of all time, AJJ and director Joe Stakun immediately got to work. Visually stunning, remarkably clever, and miraculously filmed in just one take, the new music video for ‘Goodbye, Oh Goodbye‘ has been released and can be seen below.
