Vagabon, the musical project of Lætitia Tamko, has unveiled a new single, ‘Do Your Worst’, along with its accompanying video.
The track is taken from her forthcoming album, ‘Sorry I Haven’t Called’, which is set to be released on September 15th via Nonesuch Records.
‘Do Your Worst’ was produced by Tamko, Rostam, and Teo Halm, and was inspired by the underground club music of Germany and the UK.
“I was nestled in the German countryside when Teo Halm, who co-produced this with me, and I were experimenting in my home studio late into the night, I was listening to a lot of club music and I set out to make an instrumental that drew from the music you’d hear at an underground club in Germany or the UK yet still lived in the Vagabon musical lexicon,” Tamko explains. “A year later, when I returned to the U.S, I got Rostam involved and he had a great idea of adding a layer of live drums on top of the breakbeat from my Germany session.”
In addition to her performance at the Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago, Vagabon will be embarking on a tour this fall, with support from Nourished By Time and European dates with Weyes Blood.
