Atmosphere – Jester [Video]

Atmosphere share a visual for “Jester”, a tight, wry flex: Ant lays a springy, head-nod groove while Slug shrugs off pressure with jokes sharp enough to draw blood.

It’s track 10 on the new album “Jestures“—the A-to-Z experiment with 26 songs—and it plays like a thesis for the project: keep moving, keep laughing, keep carving truth out of discomfort. Clocking in at 2:19, “Jester” is all economy. Ant’s production bumps without clutter, leaving space for Slug’s cadence to zigzag between confession and side-eye. The hook’s call-and-response opener—“I say one, I say two, I say what?”—sets the tone: playful mask, serious intent. Credit-wise, it’s Slug (Sean Daley) on the pen, Ant (Anthony Davis) on the boards, with Joe Mabbott mixing and Joe LaPorta mastering.

The official video keeps the focus on performance and tone: minimal fuss, clear framing, all attention on the words and delivery. It complements the record’s no-wasted-motion ethos—nothing distracts from the heartbeat of the song.
