Now, the band share their new music video for “Stay Down (Way Down)” directed by Rebekkah Drake who shares,”‘Stay Down (Way Down)’ feels like a song written for these times. Everyone I know is trying to stay afloat. I wanted to explore those themes of floating and falling, feeling like you need to take a breath, and trying to find hope in it all. I decided to create this video as a fairy tale of sorts, Alice in Wonderland meets Silversun Pickups. I shot this when I went back to Kansas City last August to take care of my mom. The underwater scenes were in her backyard pool with any family member I could wrangle into working with me (thanks family)! I got really good at holding my breath underwater. I shot the whole video on my phone and I experimented with shooting in portrait vs landscape because I feel like everyone is consuming art on their phones these days. I thought it would look beautiful intentionally shooting it, to be viewed that way. It was a magical experience making it, thank you to SSPU for trusting me with it!”

Brian Aubert of the band shares about Physical Thrills: “This record is alive. It sits somewhere in between a collection of songs and an imaginary friend. A friend that from March of 2020 to April of 2021 would not only introduce itself to me but keep me company through that time of intense isolation. A friend that would remind me that in this instance, the whole world was feeling the same way as well. A comforting, playful, sometimes frightened, often delighted friend. A friend that was finally introduced to Butch Vig, once we got vaccinated, and blew through his studio like a tornado made of cotton candy, leaving little pieces of residue everywhere. But most importantly, this friend REALLY doesn’t give a fuck. I know. That sounds brash. I just mean it’s a thing that is truly free. And now, this little living head space no longer visits me. I visit it through this album. I hope you like it. My friend wouldn’t care. Little rascal.”
