Los Angeles trio Moaning have released a new single cut from their incoming 'Uneasy Laughter' LP, out March 20 via Sub Pop.

The distortion and reverbed 'Make It Stop' is a song “about questioning negative thoughts but struggling to find a solution," says vocalist and guitarist Sean Solomon.

"Being stuck in your head. There was a period of time where I thought everyone hated me and was out to get me. Now I realize no one actually is putting that much energy into thinking about me at all. Depression can be extremely narcissistic. I encourage people who relate to this song to call someone and ask for help.  

The whole band made a collage for the video. It was really fun piecing different elements together. We also added some extra surprises. The dimensions of the collage are 1920 by 40,000 pixels. It's a big ass thing!"
