Pennsylvania melodic hardcore band One Step Closer have unveiled their new single “Jinx” today.
The song comes with a music video directed by the band, which can be seen here. Guitarist Ross Thompson said this about the visual:
"I was inspired by director Andrei Tarkovsky: come up with a strange concept and make it look pretty. My goal was that if you paused the video at any moment you could print it out and hang it on your wall. Just make a pretty video with my pretty friends. This was all done within two weeks. Three days of filming (one day, one half day, then four hours) and then the rest was editing. I made the first rough draft in iMovie as the demo then my friend Layne who also shot it translated everything into Premiere. This was a group effort and fun project to work on with all the homies."
“Jinx” comes days before One Step Closer’s forthcoming headlining tour across the United States in support of their latest studio album All You Embrace. The trek will feature support on select dates from Footballhead, Bleed, Ends of Sanity, World of Pleasure, Stateside, and Magnitude. Tour dates can be seen below.
