TAUK has announced that their full-length instrumental LP, titled Chaos Companion, will be released on Sept. 24. The electronic-progressive rock quartet will be going on tour this fall around the East Coast and Southern U.S. in celebration of their new work.

Speaking about the album title, bassist Charlie Dolan reflected in a press release, “Everyone’s got a chaos companion, something that keeps you grounded in the midst of all the madness. Maybe it’s your spouse, maybe it’s your kids, maybe it’s your dog. For us, it was the music.” 

The announcement of the LP’s release came with a video for a single off the album titled “The Let Out.” The surrealist video was directed by Dani Barbieri, who also worked with TAUK on the video for their track “Moon Dub.”

“Not dissimilar to ‘Moon Dub,’ when Isaac first pitched me the concept for ‘The Let Out,’ I could see the entire video in my head,” remarked Barbieri in a press release. “I reached out to my best friend [Sammi Garett of Turkuaz] immediately, and lucky me, she loved the idea and was on board! I was excited about creating a narrative-driven video that explores a woman’s desire and sexuality while keeping a strong sense of humor tonally.”
