Dora Jar is a rising alt-pop artist dealing in playful, poignant bangers. Don't believe me? Ask Billie Eilish, who's decided to bring Jar out on tour. Alongside her busy tour schedule Jar released the EP comfortably in pain earlier this year, along with an additional single called "Bumblebee." Today, she's returned with another song called "Bump" and a Jocelyn Antequil–directed video drawing heavy influence from Alice in Wonderland.

“I wrote ‘Bump’ when I was living in Poland and for the first time in my life I didn’t really know anyone in that city except for the family I was staying with, so I wasn’t bumping into people I knew anywhere," Jar explained. "This song felt like a prayer to encounter a meaningful coincidence, and eventually it began happening—not with people I knew, but I would see images from dreams manifest in real life, and it sparked this feeling that life had been waiting for me to take note of all the little details because they are leading me somewhere.”

Watch the video for "Bump" below.
