Caleb Landry Jones, other than having a very impressive filmography, from X-Men: First Class to Get Out, is also a very unique musician. The 30-year-old actor is set to release his debut album Mother Stone releasing on May 1. Sacred Bone Records announced on their Twitter:

As a companion to the album, Jones also released the official music video for his lead single, “Flag Day / The Mother Stone.” The psychedelic music video reminds me of older European expressionist films, with in-your-face visuals combined with trippy visuals. Jones wrote The Mother Stone in the wake of a breakup. “I started writing record after record after record after record, because I didn’t know what to do with myself,” he said in a press release. “It was a good way of healing. And it felt like as soon as I started doing it, it felt like it needed to happen all the time.”
The tone of the music video came after Jones met filmmaker Jim Jarmusch. “I was a big fan of his work,” Jones says. “Instead of wanting to talk, I thought I’d write him a piece that would somehow let him know who I was.”
