Montreal’s Paul Jacobs has announced the release of his up-coming album “Pink Dogs on the Green Grass” out via Blow the Fuse Records on April 30th. The unveil is accompanied by Jacobs’ first single & animated video for “Half Rich Loner.”

It’s no secret that since Jacobs’ move to Montreal, he’s become an influential face for the music community. Releasing music on a constant loop, collaborating with others musicians in the city, and creating visuals in multiple forms has kept him busy, especially during the pandemic era. And while keeping true to the rough and raspy sound we know and love, Jacobs’ has slightly drifted into new grounds.

“At the beginning of this video project, I had planned on filming some ideas with friends and collaborating on some stuff, but as Montreal’s lockdown continued throughout 2020, I knew I would have to figure out a way to get something together myself at home. I find the purpose of a music video is to enhance the song, so I didn’t want a story to take away from that. For “Half Rich Loner” my only rule was that the character needed to be alone, and for the visuals to reflect the feeling of the music. Also I always visualize the drum part while listening to this song, so I was sure to animate some drums.”
