The new video was directed by Sean Donnelly, founder of AWESOME+modest, with collages by Mengqing Yuan, and animation by Steve Yeung.

They most recently created all of the animations in the HBO documentary miniseries “The Lady and the Dale”, Marvel’s “Behind the Mask”, and Showtime’s “The One and Only Dick Gregory.”

“After seeing the work they did on The Lady and the Dale we knew that Sean and the team at Awesome+modest could do something trippy and creative for “Wait A Minute My Girl.” The band said. “This video exceeded even our wildest expectations. It’s weird, fun and crazy – we absolutely love it.”

Along with ‘Wait A Minute My Girl’, the band also recently shared their song ‘Dagen Før’. The two tracks – the band’s first new music since 2019’s album ‘Rewind, Replay, Rebound’ – were written and recorded while the world was in lockdown during the pandemic. Michael, Kaspar and Jon recorded their parts with long-time producer Jacob Hansen in Denmark, while Rob worked remotely from New York.

‘Wait A Minute My Girl’ features saxophone player Doug Corcoran and piano player Raynier Jacob Jacildo, who both perform with JD McPherson’s band and previously appeared with Volbeat on 2019’s ‘Die To Live (feat. Neil Fallon)’. Singer Mia Maja, who has worked with the band since ‘Seal The Deal & Let’s Boogie’, also appears on backing vocals.

‘Dagen Før’ features guest vocals from Danish artist Stine Bramsen, who is known for her solo work as well as being a member of the band Alphabeat. The song, in the tradition of ‘The Garden’s Tale’, ‘Maybele I Hofteholder’, and ‘For Evigt’, features both English and Danish lyrics, and marks the first commercially released song that features Stine singing in her native Danish.
