are laying low. Or at least, that’s according to the lyrics of their latest single “With Love From.” The song, a melancholic Americana folk ballad about letting go and growing up, is a hairpin turn away from the ultra-pop songs that made them famous, and represents a new chapter for the duo.
The video for “With Love From,” the title track of their forthcoming album, was released this week. Directed by Stephen Ringer, who is married to Aly Mishalka and known for the 2015 indie filmthe music video is a melancholic scrapbook, told through grainy film and long shots of close-ups. Shot in a quiet moment between two tours, like the song title suggests, the video has a postcard-like quality, with shots of Aly and AJ performing onstage, plucking dandelions, meandering around Las Vegas and Marfa, Texas, headbanging in a garage, and dancing with glasses of whiskey. There’s no plot, just emotional brushstrokes, not unlike a dream.
“I’m hiding out in Missouri/ Not happy anywhere/ I had it all in front of me I didn’t even care,” AJ sings over mellow guitars before swelling into the chorus: “I told you that I’d change/ But I guess I never did,” with the slightest shimmer of a guitar. “We wanted to make a record that kind of dug deeper into Americana folk music, and we’re not claiming that this record is among the American greats, but we did our best in telling our story and staying true to who we are as songwriters and musicians,”“Pop is still in our DNA — that’s songwriting at its essential core. Every song, in a way, is pop. With a lot of ways songs are formatted, they’re usually in a pop format,” AJ said.
