The Minnesota pop-punk band Motion City Soundtrack have just shared their first taste of music in 10 years with the single ‘Stop Talking’ – the track appears in the coming-of-age film ‘Dìdi (弟弟)’ written and directed by Sean Wang. ‘Stop Talking’ music video extends the universe of the movie, which is set in 2008, with a haphazardly-edited YouTube video straight from the film protagonist’s Izaac Wang camcorder.
“Nostalgia in the era of internet rules,” says frontman of the band Justin Pierre. “A clip of Sean Wang and Carlos López Estrada, producer of the film ‘Dìdi (弟弟)’, rocking out during our set at ‘When We Were Young’ festival last year caused a domino effect, resulting in us releasing our first new song in nearly 10 years. We recorded at Steve Albini’s legendary Electrical Audio studio with Sean O’Keefe in the producer seat. He recorded one of our first efforts a thousand years ago, pre-‘I Am the Movie’, and it was incredible to get to work with him again.”
