• New Music: Check out the latest single from Sofi Tukker, "Swing," which the band describes as "an epic battle song."

"It's more like a chant than a song, really. It's called 'swing' because we literally swing the song after Tuck says that.

It's really about how delicious and delightful and also meaningless words ultimately are.”
