Titmouse Debuts Two New Music Videos Featuring The Likes Of Run The Jewels & MorMor

 

Run the Jewels, the duo of El-P and Killer Mike, shared a new video, “yankee and the brave (ep. 4)”  from their poignant and powerful new album RTJ4 –

 

Directed by Sean Solomon with animation by Titmouse, the video brings the song’s action film-ready narrative to life as Mike and El are pulled into a standoff with a malicious robotic police force. The song is off of the band’s latest album, which is currently #1 on the rap album chart and #4 on the Billboard Top Album chart.

Chris Prynoski, Titmouse founder and president said, “Killer Mike and El-P would f*** up some robot cops in real life, so I consider this animated music video for ‘Yankee and the Brave’ a documentary – that documents the future. One day the events of this video will come to pass, and now we know what will happen through the wonder of cartoons. The prophecy of Run The Jewels has flowed through the Titmouse animators’ hearts and into their pencils. You can watch it before it happens as magical, moving drawings.”


MorMor, “Don’t Cry” 

Created by Titmouse and directed by Otto Tang (Big Mouth), “Don’t Cry” is an examination of the commonality of existential dread, with the black-and-white animated visual showcasing MorMor and his neighbors as they spiral through an abyss of repetition.

“Don’t Cry” is MorMor’s first musical offering this year and follows last year’s single “Won’t Let You,” which NPR described as “intimate and bursting with feeling,” and his two critically-acclaimed EP’s — last year’s Some Place Else and his 2018 debut Heaven’s Only Wishful, the latter of which Pitchfork called “a better respite from the world than anything on TV.”
