American electro-pop duo SOFI TUKKER, consisting of Sophie Hawley-Weld and Tucker Halpern, has announced their third studio album “BREAD” will be released on August 23, 2024.
It is their first album in two yeas since trhe 2022 album “Wet Tennis”.
The album comprises a 10-track, featuring collaborations with Kah-Lo, MC Bola, Channel Tres, and Sofi Tukker.
Sophie Hawley-Weld said of the album, “All around the world, people break bread together to connect and come to common understandings. That's exactly what we hope this album does for people. It's an invitation to put down our differences and get back in touch with what is fundamental...”- From the album, the duo unveiled a new song “Throw Some Ass” on May 3, 202.
The song is the second single off of the album, following the release of “Jacaré” last April.
It was written by mily Warren, Laryssa Goulart Loureiro, Marcio Arantes, Nicholas Sarazen, Peter Thomas, Richard Beynon, Scott Harris, Sophie Hawley-Weld, and Tucker Halpern.
Produced by Richard Beynon, Peter Thomas, Marcio Arantes, Sofi Tukker, and Nick Sarazen.
Accompanying music video was directed by Aerin Moreno, who filmed at Palácio das Laranjeiras, the residence of the governor of Rio de Janeiro. -
Sophie Hawley-Weld said of the song, “When the brain is anticipating pain, it creates more pain. Eventually my neural pathway of pain got so strong that, even when there was no structural reason for it, I became chronically in pain. The inverse was true too. When I told my body that it's safe and free, I was able to re-write the neural pathway. I was so mentally happy and free in the moments of throwing ass that my brain re-wired itself.”
Tucker Halpern continued, “The song started where I was working on some Brazilian funk-inspired drumbeats. This was right after we had spent some time in Brazil at Carnaval last year. At 6:00 a.m., we went into this nightclub under the parade. Someone was playing a baile funk set, and I was blown away. The song really gives the vibe of that club, Carnaval, and Brazil.”
