The episode will feature a new Sigur Rós track as well as their version of the Simpsons theme song. The band has written and performed more original music for The Simpsons than any other outside band in the show’s history.

Directed by Cara Stricker, the video for ‘EMBRACISM’ is an evolution from Callinan’s triple j award winning clip for song  ‘Way II War’.  It provides a challenging and intoxicating visual piece that demands attention. Daring in its physicality, it follows Callinan in his morning routine.
