Jack’s Mannequin released their third album, People And Things, on Tuesday. I’m still waiting for my pre-order to ship, but one of the things I found was that they’ve had indie film directors make short films for each of the tracks of the album. They’re not music videos per se, although some are interspersed with band shots. Each has a different feel – some thematic, some animated – but when so much of music these days is background, they’re a really interesting way to experience an album on first listen.
