After much anticipation, electro-rock quartet TAUK released Shapeshifter II: Outbreak today, and to celebrate the new LP they have shared a new music video for the track "Recreational Outrage." According to director by Dugan Warmoth, the video aligns with the band's longtime obsession with futurism, giving the viewer an up-close view "around a lab where the ‘Shapeshifter' has broken loose and taken control." Thematically, Shapeshifter II: Outbreak picks up where TAUK's 2018 EP Shapeshifter I: Construct left off. Adds Warmoth, "The music for 'Recreational Outrage' took me on a journey, so I knew the animated video had to do the same. The song's fluid grooves and computer tones inspired me to create a piece that fused organic elements with A.I. I wanted to create a voyage for the viewer that showcased the listening experience."
