The new video for “Carry The Weight”, the second track from the new LP, A Fine Commitment, is out now.

Jacobs states; “Co-Director Matt Sklar and I wanted to make a video for “Carry the Weight” that had a surreal landscape to accompany the driving, frenetic and somber joy that lives in the world of this song. We landed on the idea of using key-compositing with Matt’s visual effects/editing prowess to try and create something fun, unearthly and sincere. We ended up doing an all post-facto approach and compositing me into visual landscapes with Warhol-esque pop backgrounds and geometric construction landscapes. It’s like a hyper-focused dream. He did such a great job of keeping all the crazy themes we had attached to each other and not letting anything spin out.” The video was also shot and DP’d by Devan Davies (who plays bass in Monograms’ full band lineup).

Described as one of the “easiest and most fun to make” on his upcoming third album, “Carry The Weight” swiftly follows the shadowy Mancunian overtones of lead single “Hi Low”. His first outing since 2020, A Fine Commitment finds Monograms expanding his portfolio of post-apocalyptic sounds into dark and uncharted territories. Fusing post-punk and new-wave, industrial and gritty pop, and occasional forays into far-out folk. Entirely written and recorded by Monograms in Brooklyn, the album was produced with the assistance of Ben Rice and promises a thrilling meltdown of sounds and boundaries. Hurtling into earshot like Fischerspooner and Joy Division, the song is about overcoming the intensity of the world when its relentless traffic becomes all too much.
