On “Rocky,” Sven touts the traditional cover art, created by his fiancée Amiya Kahn-Tietz. And while the sound is similar to classics such as “Goodie Bag” and “Habit,” this single feels more new wave, bright, and optimistic. Sven says he has been playing with various sounds and says his forthcoming album will be different than his previous releases. “It’s been really nice to jump-start my brain again and kind of start over,” Sven says over the phone. “I’m just so excited to release some things that I feel like are some of the best things I’ve done.”

Sven on the "Rocky" video inspiration:

"'Yeah. I was totally incapacitated with this foot and I called my friend, and we always make videos together. And he just came up here and we tried to honestly make something serious and it just didn’t work. We tried for like a week to brainstorm shit, and I just think that I’m not that serious of a person. So if I try to make a big art statement or whatever, it’s always going to be kind of stupid. You know, or if I take myself too seriously, it depends. This song was never meant to be taken too seriously. So we had done all this work, and then we came back and put it together and we’re like, well, this is just bad. There was a moment where my friend almost went back home and we were going to have to tell the label that it didn’t work out. And then my friend went out to the hot tub to just calm down because we were kind of stressed about it and I was just like let’s just make something stupid. That was literally it. Let’s just make something dumb.'"

- Sam Berlin, Lady Gunn
