New Annuals Video - "Confessor"

thumbnail icon: New Annuals Video - "Confessor"

We showed you the Bob Ross cover art for Such Fun, Annuals full-length followup to Be He Me. The video for lead track "Confessor" is also the work of an artist, but it has more of a fairytale-cum-Bible story look. In it, we enter the story of a book called Confessor and check out some visions, a tower, some swordplay, and plenty of confessions. We're told that guitarist Zach Oden came up with the storyline and it was then illustrated by Daniel Auber. It's likely not the most exciting video you'll ever see.

In case you want the song without the "storyline":

Did this leak? It must've, but I'm not seeing it.

I don't believe it has leaked.

I really can't wait for this. Probably my most anticipated for the rest of year.
