AJR

The Multiplatinum indie pop brothers AJR released their new single and accompanying video “Way Less Sad.” The song will be featured on their fourth album OK ORCHESTRA out MARCH 26th via S-Curve. AJR says it is the most sonically experimental and emotionally raw album they’ve ever made. “‘Way Less Sad’ is a song about how we’re really feeling in this moment,” said AJR. “So much of last year felt apocalyptic and this year we can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Things aren't back to normal yet but we should be celebrating the small wins, even if they seem trivial.” 

AJR are known for incorporating their New York City roots in the creative for their music videos. For the “Way Less Sad” video they can be seen performing at a number of iconic New York City locations including the TWA terminal at the John F. Kennedy International Airport and the Central Park Carousel. 

“Way Less Sad” follows AJR’s massive multi-format hit single “BANG!,” which was #2 at Alternative Radio. The song has more than 350 million streams worldwide and is AJR’s sixth platinum single to date. It also reached No. 1 on the iTunes All Genres, USA Top 100 Shazam and Pandora’s Top Spins charts. The band recently held their first-ever live stream concert, AJR’s One Spectacular Night.

The multi-instrumentalist brothers Adam, Jack and Ryan Met of AJR have released three full length albums; LIVING ROOM (2015), THE CLICK (2017) featuring Alt hits “Sober Up” and “Burn The House Down,” and their last full-length album, NEOTHEATER (2019) featured their platinum certified single “100 Bad Days.”
