A 3.5 minute tale on the impermanence of strife to remind you that we all share anxiety over innumerable and fleeting human catastrophes. Maybe take a pause to shake the snakes off. Rip up those toxic magazines. Ask for forgiveness. Do a bird dance with your inner child. Close your eyes and clean out your thoughts. Trouble’s nothin but a single compartment on the ferris wheel in constant rotation.

Shinyribs’ first music video was my first music video, too. We started working together on album art and merch designs back in 2014 and really hit it off. The idea I initially pitched to Kevin was an all-muppets dance video for the song “Red Quasar” off Okra Candy, but somehow we got here instead. Mr. Russell loves muppets too, but he was about to drop his fourth album and said it made more sense to visualize a new track from that release. He sent along the new batch and I listened over and over and over, coming back to the message of “Trouble, Trouble.”
