The new single, titled ‘Heavyweight’ comes alongside a bright music video that follows a devilish KUČKA on a bicycle, meandering through the heavily trafficked suburbs of LA. Carrying demonic wings on her back as she rides under the harsh Californian sun, all the while the bright bold lyrics cut across the screen: “I’M A HEAVYWEIGHT” flash in technicolour in time to the cold synths and KUČKA’s sharp, yet sticky-sweet soprano vocals.

She says on the track: “’Heavyweight’ has a devil-on-your-shoulder quality to it. That cheeky voice telling you you’re the champion (of your own delusions).” KUČKA herself is that devil, whispering sweet affirmations into your ears.

The opening track of the album, ‘Wasting Time (til the end of the world)’ contrasts KUČKA’s anxiety at the state of the world with hyper-optimistic production setting the tone of the album: forever slipping into dissociative fantasy worlds. It is a shot in the arm to tackling reality blues, KUČKA says on the track: “We’re in a bleak time right now, our algorithms jump wildly between atrocities, viral animal videos, adverts, conspiracy theories. They all find their way into our subconscious. ‘Wasting Time’ is about how we keep on going – often ignoring reality – and feed the chaos as a means of escape.” She jokes it’s “something you’d listen to with your friends while driving through a burning city.”

The playful music video, directed by KUČKA’s wife Dillon Howl, bounces off this idea, following KUČKA as a pair of neon gigolos dancing and playing in graffiti’d ruins, surrounded by arid hills. Weeds force themselves through the tarmac of long-forgotten roads, only to be run over by speeding remote-controlled toy cars, kicking up dust that the twin clowns dance in.
