South London sibling duo PUNCHBAG (Clara and Anders Bach) return with exhilarating new single ‘I Love This!’, out now via Mute. The track follows their acclaimed debut EP I’m Not Your Punchbag (released in May), and lands ahead of key festival slots at Reeperbahn and Iceland Airwaves later this year.

A wide-eyed surge of feeling, ‘I Love This!’ captures what PUNCHBAG describe as “the extreme sport of everyday life” – celebrating the dizzying highs and dragging lows, and refusing to separate one from the other.

Written in Berlin at 3am in a burst of chaotic energy, Clara’s brain-rush lyrics (“fleas, drugstores, tea leaves, dopamine dreams”) spiral over Anders’ maximalist production, teetering on the edge of collapse.  There’s a playfulness running through it too – a wink behind the chaos signalling that not everything here is meant to be taken too seriously, even when it’s hitting something painfully real.

“I guess you could see this song as an anti-depression anthem! You can hear the highest highs and the lowest lows – almost like it’s soundtracking the extreme sport of everyday life. Because sometimes it really is an extreme sport, so the highs should be celebrated. Getting through a shit phase should be danced about! With synths, a dance tempo, and something to shout! All that positive stuff.” – Clara says.
