“As well want to give a shout out to the film crew: Hunter Thompson (Videographer), Jordan Altergott & Ethan Lien (Directors). Like I said, for me details matter and I feel like from the Directing, Filming, and Pot-Pro Edits you guys did a great job on this. Including the crazy filming in the cold that late and driving back in the convertible all to get the best shots. That’s legit. That’s some work-ethic type s**t I’d be on so big ups to you guys for killing it.”

“The music video turned out great,” David DiSalvo tells of the pop punk track that could easily be seen on late nineties MTV smack in the middle of a Green Day hit and a Smashing Pumpkins tune. “We’re so happy with the people we worked with on that. They did a great job and it’s on the most intense video we’ve ever done. A lot of production went into it.”
“David and Dawson go on to tell us all about how Linden had to spend hours outside at a real gas station, in the cold, while the rest of the band [David, Dawson, and drummer Jonah Bartels] stayed warm in the van away from the lights, gear, and personnel who worked for hours to get Linden’s scenes, and the story at large, done right.”

“This was exactly the vibe video directors Jordan Altergott and Ethan Lien were going for when they lugged a living room's worth of furniture all the way to the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah to shoot the video.”
“The journey to Utah was worth it. Not only is the video a perfect accompaniment to the song, but it also teases the band's upcoming EP, Loosely Held Hands. With the help of visual-effects artists Conlen Breheny and Christopher Probst, the band was able to create floating objects that hint at songs on the EP.”

“Of course, we decided to film at the beginning of the year, in Colorado, during record temperature lows, that’s our style. But despite all of that the team at altr. brought vision and life to the song in a way we could’ve only hoped for. The only reason we pulled it off was their team being brilliant. We’ve been freezing and sweating for music videos for a long time and know that the days are long and repetitive, but this one was honestly so fun we didn’t care. We ended up putting our own spin on the story by adding the thriller element to it. Any chance we get to play characters that have a life of their own is too much fun for us.”
