Motion City Soundtrack Post “Disappear” Video

By 1 Comment

Motion City Soundtrack‘s new video for “Disappear” can be seen below. The song is off the bands upcoming album, My Dinosaur Life, due out Janruary 19th.

The idea behind the “Disappear” video came from a brainstorm between Josh and Justin. We all liked the idea so they wrote the treatment and then we shot the video a few weeks ago in the Saranac Lake region of New York with director Jesse Cain.

We wanted to do something a little different with this one.
