NEWS: Mt. Joy unveil new single and video ahead of first album for Island Records

Mt. Joy have unveiled the video for their new single ‘Evergreen‘ which is out now. The video from the Philadelphia band features The Office star Creed Bratton.

Bratton is a personal friend of the band, who last autumn, joined the band on stage at The Greek Theater in Los Angeles. Speaking about the video he said: ‘After I sat in and played with Mt. Joy at the Greek Theater we established a friendship, and I was thrilled when they invited me to act in their video. Here it is, we had so much fun making it.’

Video director Francis Galluppi added that ‘Getting another opportunity to work with Mt. Joy was a real treat, and adding Creed Bratton to the mix was just the cherry on top. Working with Creed was everything you’d imagine it would be. He was the life of the party on set and elevated the entire concept. Conceptually, the idea was to watch as our protagonist attempts – and repeatedly fails- to find something that will give his life a sense of purpose. Eventually, by combining the learnings from all of his past failures, he finally discovers something that is evergreen.’

The band’s third album, and first for Island Records, Orange Blood, will be released on June 17. The tracklisting for the album is as follows:

1. Orange Blood

2. Evergreen

3. Roly Poly

4. Johnson Song

5. Don’t It Feel Good

6. Lemon Tree

7. Bang

8. Phenomenon
