With less than two months to go until they release their Hopeless Records debut I Won’t Care How You Remember Me, alt-emo outfit Tigers Jaw have just debuted yet another new single.
Following the release of “Lemon Mouth,” “Cat’s Cradle” and standalone track “Warn Me,” the Scranton natives are back with their infectious new song “Hesitation.”
“‘Hesitation’ describes those sinking feelings of sensing that the person you love is beginning to drift away from you,” says vocalist/guitarist Ben Walsh. “It’s subtle at first, but these small details can slowly pull apart the fabric of a relationship. When you hear the hesitation before a response or see it before an action, your brain fills in the blanks and can sense that something is over before it’s actually over.”
As for the band’s accompanying music video directed by Title Fight guitarist Shane Moran, Walsh adds, “I love how Shane conceptualized such a detail driven video for this song. His style is so iconic and so recognizably his own that he can take a simple concept like performers at a birthday party and build an entire narrative around it that feels so interesting and fresh, with humor and mystery and a touch of the supernatural. I’ve always been a huge fan of his artistic aesthetic so it was such a cool experience working with him on this video.”
Moran himself chimed in saying, “The video is a meditation on wonder and, in many ways, exists as an exercise in self-belief. Filmed entirely in a Pennsylvania backyard over the course of a few hot summer days, friends and family (safely) got together to aid in the construction of a previously unknown world—one shaped by the energy of the song itself. This video attempts to showcase the contrast between the physical and the ether, the concrete and the abstract, working as a side-by-side metric to help identify when something simply does not add up.”
