Australian experimental musician Kirin J Callinan is releasing a new album, Bravado, on Friday (June 9) via Terrible Records. Previously he shared the slightly NSFW and highly amusing Cuba-shot video for “S.A.D.” (which stands for “Song About Drugs”). He also shared the album’s title track, a funny mockumentary video for Bravado track “Telling Me This,” and two more songs from the album, “Down 2 Hang,” which features James Chance, and “Living Each Day,” which features Connan Mockasin. Now he has shared a video for “Living Each Day.” Kii Arens directed the ridiculous and amusing clip, which features Callinan in various cowboy outfits and includes Mockasin riding a shark. Watch the fun below, followed by his upcoming tour dates.

Bravado features a slew of other special guests, including Weyes Blood, Mac DeMarco, Owen Pallett, Sean Nicholas Savage, Jorge Elbrecht, and others. The “Telling Me This” mockumentary was a Behind the Music style spoof called Off the Record that featured Callinan talking about the song, along with fellow musicians, including Mac DeMarco, Mark Ronson, Weyes Blood, Jack Black, Jay Watson (Tame Impala, Gum, POND), Sebastien Teller, Ladyhawke, and others. Callinan’s debut album, Embracism, came out in 2013 and in 2015 he released a video for a new song featuring Connan Mockasin, “The Teacher,” which isn’t featured on the new album.
