Horse Jumper of Love have shared “Today’s Iconoclast,” the latest off their forthcoming album Disaster Trick, due August 16th on Run For Cover Records. The song comes with a video directed by Rhys Scarabosio. The band are presently on the road with with DIIV and will be touring in support of Disaster Trick, this fall, as well, have also announced a EU and UK tour that kicks off in late October.

“I was watching a Pasolini film and read someone describe him as an iconoclast. I became obsessed with that word and idea. In order to make something good, you have to destroy a belief in some way. You can’t stay static, you have to accept change and be able to adjust,” Dimitri Giannopoulos explains. “I was thinking everyone should try to be as iconoclastic as they can because a lot of people end up being unhappy or unsatisfied. I think we all could be happier if we made an effort to destroy what we believe to be true about our own desires.”

Disaster Trick feels like a creative reset for the band, partly due to Giannopoulos’ recent sobriety. “This was the first album I’ve ever done where I went into it with a very clear mind,” he says. “In the past, we would just show up at a studio, drink, and record. Here, everything felt purposeful.” With this newfound energy, the band entered Asheville, North Carolina’s Drop of Sun Studios with producer Alex Farrar (Wednesday, Indigo De Souza).
