New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Today, MOD SUN releases the breathtakingly cinematic video for
Internet Killed The Rockstar
Deluxe Album standout track "Amnesia," which MOD says is one of his favorite songs he's ever written.
The video, creatively concepted and co-directed by MOD, follows a crazed pop-punk fan who is building a MOD SUN-focused art collection.
"Machine Gun
Kelly always tells me that I'm the art, so why don't we make a video that's me being the final art piece," says MOD SUN. "I wanted to make a video about an art collector, the biggest MOD SUN fan in the world and they have been collecting every piece from MOD SUN that they can get and the final piece is MOD SUN himself. I was making this and wondering when does this world of collection stop? Does it only stop when you actually collect the person? Is that the end goal? That's what I made this video about."
The visual takes place where "
Flames" left off, in front of the
Internet Killed The Rockstar tombstone with Avril Lavigne, and pays homage to MOD's "Karma," and "
Bones" music videos showcasing the full circle that is MOD SUN's visual landscape.
On Wednesday (May 12th) MOD SUN made his late-night TV debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live! performing the Top 20 Alt
Radio hit "
Flames" alongside Avril Lavigne. The performance sees MOD SUN and
Avril Lavigne on a gloomy basketball court joined by punk rockers Nick Gross (girlfriends' drummer), John Feldmann (Goldfinger guitarist & producer of MOD's latest album), and a group of skateboarders. The lively and emotional performance showcases the transcendent rock duo's "complementary powerhouse vocals" (NYLON).
The
Internet Killed The Rockstar
Deluxe Album (Big Noise) features eight new tracks including acoustic renditions of 'Internet Killed The Rockstar' singles and original studio releases. The powerful and emotional 19-track collection unlocks a new chapter of MOD's decade-long career and sees the "authentic" (PAPER) artist at an all-time high.
