Parisian avant-pop auteur Jazzboy recently announced his 10-track double-EP Jazzapocalypse, which will be out in the world on June 5th. He has also unveiled a preview of what's to come with the video for his latest single and the EP's title track. On the self-directed video, he said, "The idea for the video was to illustrate the feeling of an inner-apocalypse, in a fantasylike, Shakespearian fashion. It’s the violent tale of a dying butterfly witnessing the birth of a brand new one. It’s about metamorphosis, cycles of love, death and rebirth." To celebrate the video and his upcoming release, he took some time out of his day to answer some quick-fire questions for us.
