Telehealth know it’s tough to be a true punk when the music biz is all about money. The Seattle post-punks explore such topics on their newly-announced sophomore album Green World Image, which also marks their “IPO with angel investors Sub Pop.” Teleheath are teasing the release with the wacky lead single “Cool Job,” which sounds like a modern update on a B-52s B-side.
The band explain of the song in a press release:
“Cool Job” pulls from meme culture pastiche and “Temporary Secretary” trope to skewer the fantasy that the right job will save your life. Written mid-burnout, it’s an anti-work anthem about corporate rot, identity collapse, and trying to care about meetings that could have been emails while everything else is falling apart!!!! The video supports and contrasts the song by documenting the (extremely profitable!!!!) surreal act of touring and creating (/attempting) joy as the world unravels – stitched from internet-found clips and camcorder footage from our 2025 south(east) tour, filtered through modern brain-rot, simulation/simulacra VHS corporate aesthetics.
The band’s Alexander Attitude directed the “Cool Job” video, which you can see below along with the Green World Image tracklist and Telehealth’s upcoming tour dates.
