Philadelphia’s Pissed Jeans last released an album in 2017 with Why Love Now. Today, the miscreants are back with the announcement of its follow-up called Half Divorced; the lead single “Moving On” is out now.
“Moving On” comes with a video directed by Joe Stakun, who also did the band’s “The Bar Is Low” video amongst others.
The LP — which was recorded by Don Godwin at Tonal Park in Takoma Park, Maryland — grapples mainly with themes of adulthood, and experiments with a more pop punk sound. “Half Divorced has an aggression within it, in terms of saying, I don’t want this reality,” frontman Matt Korvette explained in a press release. “There’s a power in being able to say, I realize you want me to pay attention to these things, but I’m telling you that they don’t matter. I’m already looking elsewhere.”
