Last year One Step Closer released their latest full-length All You Embrace via Run For Cover Records, the album boldly expanded the scope of their sound and today the band are back with their brand new single, Jinx. All You Embrace found One Step Closer creating their most anthemic and passionate work to date while still packing the bite that longtime fans have come to love, and Jinx pushes that dichotomy even further. Recorded and produced by Jon Markson it’s a towering cut of widescreen post-hardcore that envelopes the listener in churning guitars and vocalist Ryan Savitski‘s fierce yet melodic roar. 

“I was inspired by director Andrei Tarkovsky: come up with a strange concept and make it look pretty. My goal was that if you paused the video at any moment you could print it out and hang it on your wall. Just make a pretty video with my pretty friends. This was all done within two weeks. Three days of filming (one day, one half day, then four  hours) and then the rest was editing. I made the first rough draft in iMovie as the demo then my friend Layne who also shot it translated everything into Premiere. This was a group effort and fun project to work on with all the homies.” (guitarist Ross Thompson)
