Caleb Landry Jones, the multifaceted musician and actor, has unveiled a vibrant new animated music video for his song Hey Gary, a standout track from his latest album, Hey Gary, Hey Dawn. The video, animated by Aidan Stadler, perfectly captures the song's frenetic energy through over 600 ink drawings, offering viewers an immersive dive into Jones's creative psyche. Alongside this visual treat, Jones also announces the digital deluxe edition of "Hey Gary, Hey Dawn," which includes 11 new tracks that extend the album's eclectic soundscape, enriching the original 13-song collection with fresh, unheard material. Stadler, the artist behind the animated video, described his experience:
Hey Gary contains over 600 ink drawings that at one point covered the floor and walls of my studio. I was a dweller of Caleb’s brain… and I liked it.
Jones himself adds:
11 more songs than a vinyl can hold. It's additional content I can only refer to as the rest of the album. I hope there are those of you out there who appreciate the longer listen with more bubble gum gump pixie romps to cultivate the shrinking hour.
The deluxe edition of "Hey Gary, Hey Dawn" is a true celebration of collaboration, with contributions from over 20 musicians, including a quartet, adding layers of depth to the album. This release is not just an expansion but a completion of Jones’s vision, offering a richer and more complex listening experience. Fans can look forward to the digital release, which promises to challenge and delight with its intense and eclectic soundscapes. Be sure to watch the "Hey Gary" music video below.
