This time it’s Mediator and its equally impressive music video. It’s the second taste of their upcoming album, Wallflowers, set to drop on August 27th via Napalm Records.

“With years getting older, we often realise that the world around us is far from what we expected it to be. Through the eyes of a kid, everything seemed way more colourful, better and optimistic, didn’t it? When did it all turn wrong? When did it all turn so grey? Is this really the world’s fault? Or it is only about us chasing the wrong goals… the wrong careers, ambitions and achievements, rather than embracing one important truth… Rephrasing John Lennon, if one chases something else other than happiness, then they didn’t understand life at all …” says the band.

Originally from the conflict-ridden Ukrainian region of Donetsk, the band now calls Kiev home.  They have sold out gigs all over the world and notably have created most of their records in vans or backstage rooms whilst on the road.

“Growing creatively has always been a major goal for us. The day Jinjer stops reaching for new musical horizons will be our last day as a band. We wrote an album whose level of emotions range from the fiercest aggression we’ve ever had to the most intricate melodies and melancholic vibes you could ever get from our music. We decided to rip apart all possible stylistic boundaries without regard to financial success or competing with our previous albums. Wallflowers is a different kind of album musically and visually. It’s about our identity as a band, as individuals and a clear statement that we are different from most artists… and that it is OK to do your own thing.” adds bassist Eugene Abdukhanov.

Mediator is available to stream now. You can pre-order the upcoming album here.
