Punchbag have released their new single ‘I Love This!’

PUNCHBAG have released their new single ‘I Love This!’ via Mute, following their debut EP ‘I’m Not Your Punchbag’ from May.

The South London sibling duo, comprising Clara and Anders Bach, wrote the track in Berlin at 3am, with Clara’s stream-of-consciousness lyrics layered over Anders’ production. The single explores what the band describe as “the extreme sport of everyday life,” combining both celebratory and challenging moments.

“I guess you could see this song as an anti-depression anthem! You can hear the highest highs and the lowest lows – almost like it’s soundtracking the extreme sport of everyday life. Because sometimes it really is an extreme sport, so the highs should be celebrated. Getting through a shit phase should be danced about! With synths, a dance tempo, and something to shout! All that positive stuff,” Clara says.
