Ahead of their appearances at this weekend and next’s When We Were Young festivals, Jimmy Eat World have unveiled a beautiful new single, Place Your Debts.
Says frontman Jim Adkins of the track – which was written in collaboration with Clark Baechle (The Faint) and Denver Dalley (Desaparecidos): “The ‘debt’ you rack up is the time you spend avoiding doing the work to know yourself. You buy an ending every time you start something, and the cost is determined by how closely you pay attention to your personal condition.”
And of the accompanying video, shot at a whole load of locations throughout America, the UK and Europe while the band were on tour, he explains: “It’s a series of many, many edits of me singing to the camera. While every shot is different in terms of background, I’m framed with as close to the same composition in every one.
“It is a concept you can’t really scout for. You have to just be aware and be looking for interesting locations all the time.”
