Watch: AUS!Funkt Premiere New Single/Video "Information YEAH!"

Toronto-based art-disco/post punk/electro quartet AUS!Funkt have premiered the video for their catchy new single "Information YEAH!".

The song is taken from their brand new EP 'Post-Stagnation', out today (January 14). Get your copy here.

The song conjures the computer-nerd New Wave idiosyncrasies of DEVO or Talking Heads, and brings in some dark, dance-y New Order elements. Then, as soon as the listener has become accustomed to that particular vibe, the song morphs into a driving ’90s techno hypnosis with energetic female vocals. It’s both a journey and a mishmash of all the elements that have led us here, and even though it’s overlapping and trippy, it’s ultimately a ton of fun.

Both the single and the EP were written and recorded prior to the pandemic, spanning from 2017 to 2019. But the band felt that now was the perfect time to release it, especially considering how relevant the message is to the current state of affairs.

“’Information YEAH!’ hits all the keywords that marked this last year and a half: information, regurgitation, constant negation, no inspiration, indoctrination, suffocation and many other ‘-ations’ that we struggled with as a band,” AUS!Funkt says. “But, at the same time, the whole world did as well. It’s not that these things did not exist before the epidemic hit, it’s just that they became much more palpable in the time of crisis.”

As an EP, Post-Stagnation is an exploration of and a journey through many sounds, from the minimalist post-punk of “Signal To Noise” to “She’s Right Behind,” a dark, pulsating psych-rock jam that examines the distrust and fear of our own minds. “Take Your Sense Back” is a call to reclaim a sense of purpose, a sense of moving forward, and a sense of making sense.
