From Shallow, their newly remastered debut,
available now worldwide via Sub Pop
On tour November 1st-9th
We’re very pleased to share Pissed Jeans' official (+ new) video for “Boring Girls,” from Shallow, their remastered debut. Helmed by returning director Joe Stakun, “Boring Girls” marks the third installment in a non-chronological trilogy (which includes the group’s videos for “Bathroom Laughter” and “Romanticize Me” ). 
Stereogum says of the video, “Last week Sub Pop reissued Pissed Jeans’ 2005 debut album Shallow, and today that album’s brilliant “Boring Girls” gets a highly entertaining video by director Joe Stakun...This time out Stakun has created a surreal dream scenario involving a pathetic schlub, described by the director as Full House meets Twin Peaks. The schlub is played by Clay Tatum, comedian Shelby Fero as the postal worker, and his date is Laura Simpson, Jennifer Lawrence’s friend who broke her fall at the Oscars. Conceptually this is a trip, and it’s visually striking too; shout out to those balloons (see premiere October 16th).”
On the live front, Pissed Jeans have scheduled a short US tour in support of Shallow, that kicks-off November 1st in Seattle, WA at Barboza and ends November 9th in Austin, TX at Fun Fun Fun Fest. Please find a complete list of tour dates below.
Pissed Jeans Shallow features the original outing’s 8 songs, as well as the bonus tracks “Throbbing Organ” and “Night Minutes” from their first single. All songs were originally available via the Parts Unknown label during 2004 and 2005, and have been remastered for this release.

Shallow is now available for purchase through the Sub Pop Mega MartTunes and Amazon. Fans who purchase the LP version of Shallow via megamart.subpop.com will receive the limited “Loser Edition” of the album on neon yellow colored vinyl (while supplies last), the “Throbbing Organ” 7” and an immediate download of the entire album.
What People Are Saying About Pissed Jeans Shallow:
“Frontman Matt Korvette’s uncanny superpower—to turn the drudgery of everyday life into the stuff of absurdist theater—has become honed over the years, but it was already strong on Pissed Jeans' first album.” -  Pitchfork
"Everywhere you turn on Shallow, Pissed Jeans slap you in the face with a fantastic riff." - The Line of Best Fit
"Shallow is aurally thunderous – demonstrably a product of the modern hardcore scene, but sounding like it’s dead set on brutality via guitar tone. A case could be made for its ancestry being found in Blue Cheer, Void, My Bloody Valentine, Brainbombs or Landed, despite Pissed Jeans sounding little like any of those bands. ‘Wachovia’, the final song on the album, is a largely vocal-free showcase for guitarist Bradley Fry (who was, at the time, also wrestling in a small regional division called Chikara) to unleash meteor storms of strobing psychedelic axe-murder." [9/10] - Drowned in Sound
