October 17, 2025 – Philadelphia, PA – Today, rising indie-alternative artist isitjosh released his new music video for the deeply personal and intimate track “WATCHING ANIME.” This song is a standout song off his debut album A Collection of Short Stories About the Heart, that dropped earlier this year.
Watch the official “WATCHING ANIME” music video here.
isitjosh shared his sentiments on the new music video below:
“I wasn’t sure if ‘WATCHING ANIME’ was going to make the record to be honest, but I’m so glad it did. It’s spoken word, and the lyrics are deeply personal. But I guess part of the freedom of being an independent artist means I get to release songs like these, without any creative restraints. Even as nerve-racking as it can be, it’s equally as rewarding. With this song, I tried to capture the feeling of internalizing a panic attack while doing something as mundane as watching anime. Oddly enough, I think that’s an experience a lot of us have shared, and I’m grateful it’s resonated with so many people. We truly are all in this together.”
The new music video for “WATCHING ANIME” is part of an ongoing journey where Josh is creating 18 DIY music videos for all 18 songs off his debut album. Just a few weeks ago he released the music video for “life of the party” featuring longtime collaborator JR Graves and a video for “I used to dream.”
He is a voice on the scene unafraid to dig deep, ask questions, and reflect on navigating adulthood, loss, and reinvention. The record featured major players in the alternative music space such as Kellin Quinn and it was produced in collaboration with cmfrt (co-writer, touring guitarist) and sayvenus (co-writer, touring backup vocalist).
As a fully independent, self-made musician, isitjosh has built his community from the ground up. At its core, his mission to create music about real experiences and honest storytelling. Without a label or major backing, he continues to connect with listeners through an authentic songwriting approach and a dedicated fanbase who supports him every step of the way.
