Jeff Rosenstock has announced his new album, Hellmode. It’s out September 1 via Polyvinyl and features the new single “Doubt.” The animated “Doubt” video was made by members of the team behind the animated show Rosenstock soundtracks, Craig of the Creek. “I wanted to make an anime-inspired video that captures the feeling of dread you feel when you know you’re gonna have to deal with some bad shit, and then that bad shit ends up way worse than you had even imagined,” the musician said in a statement. Watch the clip below.
Hellmode features the previously shared single “Liked U Better,” and, according to Rosenstock, it’s an album meant to evoke the current state of the world. “To me, the album feels like the chaos of being alive right now,” he said in a statement. “We’re experiencing all these things at the same time that trigger our senses, and emotions that make us feel terrible. We’re just feeling way too much all at once!”
Rosenstock’s last albums were 2020’s No Dream and its 2021 ska counterpart, Ska Dream. He’s touring extensively later this year.
