Today, Chromeo unveil the surreal and kinetic video for “(I Don’t Need A) New Girl”—watch it here. Directed by Spencer Ford (Troye Sivan, JAWNY) and produced by Weston Freas (BROCKHAMPTON, Kevin Abstract), the video finds Chromeo’s Dave 1 and P-Thugg in their sweet spot: prowling amongst cars, legs and keyboards.
“(I Don’t Need A) New Girl” concludes a cohesive trilogy of singles: “Replacements,” which was hailed as “a nod back to the heyday of indie sleaze,” that is “sure to make you dance” by Consequence and features the era-defining artist La Roux, who made a surprise appearance during Chromeo’s Coachella sets to debut the track; and “Words With You,” which Stereogum calls their “favorite thing the Canadian synth-funk duo has ever done” and is currently featured in an international Taco Bell ad campaign.
In celebration of the new music, the band will embark on the FUNK YOURSELF tour this fall, their first headline run in over four years, with dates at New York’s Brooklyn Steel, two nights at Toronto’s Danforth Music Hall, Austin City Limits and Portola festivals, a massive co-headline Los Angeles play with Purple Disco Machine and more. The dates come on the heels of Chromeo’s triumphant fifth appearance at Coachella, of which Rolling Stone raved, “if Coachella was any kind of a preview, Chromeo are going bigger, bolder, and chrome-ier than before.”
