Jinjer drop brand-new single and video, Mediator

Ahead of the release of upcoming LP Wallflowers next month, Jinjer have shared a brand-new single, Mediator.

"With years getting older, we often realise that the world around us is far from what we expected it to be," say the band of their latest effort. "Through the eyes of a kid everything seemed way more colourful, better and optimistic, didn't it? When did it all turn wrong? When did it all turn so gray? Is this really the world's fault? Or it is only about us chasing the wrong goals… the wrong careers, ambitions and achievements, rather than embracing one important truth…

"Rephrasing John Lennon, if one chases something else other than happiness, then they didn't understand life at all…"

Of Wallflowers as a whole, Eugene Abdukhanov explains, "Growing creatively has always been a major goal for us. The day Jinjer stops reaching for new musical horizons will be our last day as a band. We could have churned out what our peers expected us to do or produce Pisces clones without end but we’ve never done that and we never will.

"Instead, we wrote an album whose level of emotions range from the fiercest aggression we’ve ever had, to the most intricate melodies and melancholic vibes you could ever get from our music. We decided to rip apart all possible stylistic boundaries without regard to financial success or competing with our previous albums. Wallflowers is a different kind of album musically and visually. It’s about our identity as a band, as individuals and a clear statement that we are different from most artists… and that it is okay to do your own thing.”
