'Swear Jar' is the first, new music from Illy since the release of his 2013 gold-accredited album 'Cinematic'.
Produced by Rahki (Kendrick Lamar, Talib Kweli), the tongue-in-cheek song was written in response to people being dicks online. It’s a fun way of telling everyone to chill the f*ck out.
“'Swear Jar' is a light-hearted take on two very serious issues: that rare breed of dickhead artist who thinks they're God's gift to the world. And the far more common breed of dickhead that you find dwelling online, hurling abuse at others. They both suck. I wanted to write a song for them, and here it is. I hope they don't like it,” Illy says.
The animated video was produced by Flutter and directed by Dom Bartolo, the team behind Chet Faker’s '1998' and Scott Spark’s 'Two Alarms'.
