Horse Jumper of Love have shared a new song, “Today’s Iconoclast,” from their forthcoming album, Disaster Trick, which is due out on August 16 via Run For Cover. Watch the Rhys Scarabosio-directed video for “Today’s Iconclast” below, followed by the band’s upcoming tour dates.

Lead vocalist and guitarist Dimitri Giannopolous had this to say on new track in a press release: “I was watching a Pasolini film and read someone describe him as an iconoclast. I became obsessed with that word and idea. In order to make something good, you have to destroy a belief in some way. You can’t stay static, you have to accept change and be able to adjust. I was thinking everyone should try to be as iconoclastic as they can because a lot of people end up being unhappy or unsatisfied. I think we all could be happier if we made an effort to destroy what we believe to be true about our own desires.”

In light of Giannopoulos’ recent sobriety, he had this to say on the album: “This was the first album I’ve ever done where I went into it with a very clear mind. In the past, we would just show up at a studio, drink, and record. Here, everything felt purposeful.”

Prior to “Today’s Iconoclast,” the band previously released the new album’s singles “Snow Angel” and “Wink.”
