Did you wake up today and have the desire to watch a bizarre video featuring men smiling in an unsettling manner? Yes? Well, then you’ve clicked on the right post! Hudson Mohawke and Lunice, who collaborate together under the name TNGHT, have released a new single titled “TUMS” with a video by Dan Streit that features terrifying stock images come to life.

The track begins with a slip ‘n’ sliding flute sound surrounded by ripples of laughter. It’s a fitting soundtrack as the images in the video expand and deflate like a marshmallow in the microwave. During the chorus, we’re welcomed by that bass/synth combo that solidifies TNGHT as a go-to pick for the dance floor.

“’TUMS’ was made from that collective feeling of ‘OMG maybe there actually are going to be parties again,” said Lunice about the track in a press release. “That feeling seemed to inspire the first principles of the TNGHT project: Keep it really fun. Dumb. Hard-hitting. Don’t overwork it.” Hudson Mohawke added: “This one really showcases our two distinct styles and how well they still work together despite their sonic differences.”

“TUMS” also announced a surprise show the duo will be playing this Saturday, November 6, at The Catwalk in Downtown LA. Listen to the song below and get tickets here.
