Everyone Else is Boring Animation

A few days ago I completed a new music video. It’s an animated surrealist accompaniment to my song “Everyone Else Is Boring,” off of my debut-solo album, Airbrush (Slush Puppy Music).

For those of you just joining us, Airbrush adds to a discography that includes co-writing two songs on Sean Lennon’s Friendly Fire (Capitol Records), working with Mark Ronson on the motion picture soundtrack for 21 and co-writing two songs on Daniel Merriweather’s forthcoming release Love & War (Allido) as well as four albums with my old rock band Dopo Yume.

The video for “Everyone Else Is Boring,” created as an
animated collage, combines photos of me taken by fashion
photographer Francois Hugon with early 20th century sci-
fi aesthetics and a “Mad Men" type vision of the
American Dream in the late 50’s.

Inspired by Surrealists like Marcel Duchamp, the video follows a slumbering “Jordan Galland” on a journey beginning in the comfort of a 1950s style home, winding through an idyllic
park photograph, mid-century postcard settings, cavernous
supernatural hideouts, Victorian parlors and more.
Methods of transportation include: a flying purple horse, a Godard-esque spaceship and massive bumblebee with
the face of a beautiful woman.

Hope you enjoy it.
