New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Washington
Square Music and Austin, TX-based rock band My Jerusalem are excited to premiere the video for �Rabbit Rabbit� today via VEVO. The video is the first visual from the band�s recent full-length release, A
Little Death.
"Somewhere between
David Lynch and Lewis Carroll lays the video for Rabbit Rabbit. Where luck, fate, fear, and the never-ending race against time all hustle each other,� lead singer Jeff Klein explained of the video. �While shooting it I ran around Brooklyn for 10 hours and split my pants in front of all the Hells Angels. Then I got tackled 20 times by a Furry who was rewarded with a 3 hour lap dance. How�s that for luck?"
Though My Jerusalem has been kicking around in some capacity since 2010, A
Little Death is the first album with a solidified lineup. Previously, the band had been more of a collective, with contributions from Klein�s revolving door of friends from previous projects, Gutter
Twins and The Twilight Singers, and who had also played in bands like Cursive, Okkervil River, and the Polyphonic Spree. Now, with a full-time lineup of members including Grant Van Amburgh (drums), Kyle Robarge (bass), and Jon Merz (guitar, keys, horns), �My Jerusalem is a true band,� Klein says. Alongside standout tracks like the high-energy �Rabbit Rabbit� and the slowed down banger �No One Gonna Give You Love,� A
Little Death is an album that pays homage to a classic era of rock and roll, one that lacked pretension and focused on honesty in songwriting.
�The album has a throwback vibe to it,� says Klein, who spent many nights walking around the time capsule of an area around his rental home in Brooklyn, among the Russian immigrants and foreign culture of the New York blocks. This setting also provided him with the ability to reflect on the loss of his mother and deal with the family and personal issues he�d put on the backburner for years � another dynamic centerpiece that is largely present within the duration of the record. �There�s a recurring theme of fate, luck, desire, and consequence,� he says of it, �and also, how to be more accountable as a human.�
�It is, as Klein�s music always has been, a dark and tormented affair, but it�s also one infused with black humor as well as an infectious sense of emotional defiance.� � Noisey
"With every record, this Austin band just gets gloomier, tighter and more convincing.� �
