According to the band, the clip was created by a fan named Ben Disinger originally as a silent film for a school assignment before he realized it synched up with the song; he approached the band at a tour stop in Rochester, New York to show them the result.

“We were skeptical to say the least, but the more he talked about it, the more we were interested in actually seeing this thing,” the band said in a statement. “He pulled his laptop out and placed it on the steps to the bus. We were blown away. We put him in touch with our manager and for the last few months he’s been putting the finishing touches to this incredible piece. This is that rare moment when art expands further than first intentions or expectations. Where two different inspirations can coincide to create something better."

Simple Math is set to be released on May 10 through Columbia/Favorite Gentlemen Records.
