Half the country might be covered in snow in early February, but Sofi Tukker is clearly eyeing summertime with their new single "Original Sin."
The sultry new track arrived Friday along with a colorful, shiny video. A song about being kind to yourself and rejecting imposed social mores, it's a preview of the duo's newly announced sophomore album Wet Tennis, which will be released April 29 via Ultra/Sony Music.
"'Original Sin’ is the perfect way to introduce the world of Wet Tennis and it's very emblematic of 'the freak fam,' our community," the duo says. "It says: we aren't meant to be saints. We aren't born sinners. We're just a bunch of freaks who make mistakes and keep trying to do our best. Wet Tennis is an acronym that stands for 'when everyone tries to evolve, nothing negative is safe,' and that's what this song is all about."
They add: "We live in a troubled world; it's not our fault if we have trouble sometimes. That's part of what makes us human. But when we evolve together and celebrate instead of judge each other, we can move through negativity into a more optimistic way of life."
