Jeff Rosenstock just *dropped* the official music video for "Melba" and it's a doozy. If you love Jeff, breaking shit... and well, yeah, if you dig either of those things you'll dig this vid. You can check it out below or head over to SPIN, Paste, Stereogum, or UPROXX– pick yr poison.
Directors Ben Epstein and David Combs give some context to the smashing:
"Jeff wanted to make a video featuring a character who, consequence free, carelessly destroys everything around them. The idea of such a character reminded me of how often the abuse of power is a thoughtless exercise for those who hold it, so we decided to expand on the idea and make it a commentary on how abusive patterns get replicated - where the effects are passed downward hierarchically and the people with the least power experience the consequences most intensely. You know, also it's fun to watch people smash shit, so we tried to have a good time with that too."
"Melba" is taken from POST-. You may pre-order your copy now for our E-Store. If you want to smash it to bits, that's entirely up to you.
