Today, folk/punk band AJJ have released a brand new single, “Best of All Possible Worlds.”
The new single features rapper Kool Keith and singer/songwriter Kimya Dawson of The Moldy Peaches — a collaboration that Sean Bonnette of AJJ calls “legendary.” This lyrical round-robin touches on such themes as death in the multiverse, the many lives of an artist, and Palestinian liberation.
“I am still so completely astonished that we got to make this thing with these two legendary artists I grew up listening to,” Bonnette shares. “Two artists who informed my sensibilities and influenced AJJ’s approach in many ways. Is this the best of all possible worlds? Voltaire already answered this question with Candide: Hell no it isn’t. But getting to make this song with these lovely folks made it feel like it is for a little while.”
