AJJ have announced their new album Disposable Everything will drop on May 26 via Hopeless Records. The LP was recorded in 2022 in various studios across the Southwest with the band recording as a five-piece for the first time.

To celebrate the album announcement, AJJ share two new singles – the album’s title track and “Dissonance.” These two songs follow the recently released “The Baby Panda,” with “Disposable Everything” spelling out the damaging impact of late capitalism while still shimmering with hope. Sean Bonnette says “This video came together really naturally. My oldest friend is a master puppeteer by the name of Gwendolyn Bonar. We went to kindergarten together. I reached out to her at the beginning of December to gauge her interest in working with us on a video, to which she replied “Yeah, let’s get weird.” So I called Joe Stakun, director of AJJ’s classic video Goodbye Oh Goodbye and in less than a month we were shooting the video at the Great Arizona Puppet Theater.”

“The puppets used in the film are all made of trash and found materials, and coincidentally, so were the lenses that (director of photography) Eric Bader used in the shoot. Turns out his pandemic project was making camera lenses from broken camera equipment, found glass, and pipe fittings. As soon as he heard the song he knew what he had been building them for.”
