AJJ will release ‘Disposable Everything,’ their newest album and debut for Hopeless Records, on May 26, and today they share the latest taste of the album via two new singles, ‘Death Machine’ and ‘White Ghosts.’ ‘Death Machine’ is a track that distills the current environmental and political crises into less than two minutes of jittery, feel-good, punk rock urgency in the way that only AJJ can, and the humorous and wry ‘White Ghosts’ is its perfect complement.
AJJ share on the two new videos: “For the past several years, truck stops all across America have been selling these strange plastic skulls. You can find them over by the faerie/wizard snowglobes, right across from the knives that look like dragons. Our band has amassed a very well-curated stable of these seemingly pointless death-tchotchkes. A favorite is one of Mark’s: a golden skull wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap that has a rhinestone skull & crossbones on it. That bad boy has a shitload of attitude. The very best of our respective truckstop skull collections are the stars of the video for our new song, ‘Death Machine.’ ‘White Ghosts’ also comes with a band-made video. We shot it with our phones, on a lark, live in the studio. Then Mark produced it, editing the footage together and subsequently mangling it with his analog video synthesizer. We’re really happy with how these videos came out and hope you enjoy them!”
