Today the Toronto indie pop duo TANDM dropped the music video for 2quick2trust.
The second single is taken from their upcoming EP called Sirens which comes out on July 26, 2023.
A moody indie pop diss-tune.
About the track from TANDM:
“This song was inspired from negative experiences in our music and personal lives, where many have tried to take advantage of us. From having people try to steal our music, take advantage of our band, take advantage of us as humans – this is our response.”
For the music video, they partnered with collaborators Akash Jones and Bronte Brazier as well as Evelyn Lougheed who drew the single artwork. It’s a hand drawn comic-style story about a princess who bravely escapes a castle where she was held captive, only to have the Prince Charming knight show up in the final seconds and try to take credit for her escape and work.
Beck-Sinderby elaborates, “When starting TANDM, both Thomas and I were very young and naive to the music scene, and some of the bad people in it. Our kindness, generosity and innocence were taken advantage of, and that put us in a really bad place for confidence and trust in the music industry. ‘2quick2trust’ is a confident clap back at those who have wronged us in the past, proving that all they were to us was nameless and song material.
I have always wanted to write an angrier song, but having such a soft voice has made the realization of that vision difficult. One lesson we took away from ‘2quick2trust’ was that with enough creativity, we can accomplish anything. We were able to write a song that both Thomas and I believe hits the nail on the head, gets our message across and also conveys enough insult without removing the sweet vocal style. By distorting our bass, adding aggressive drum fills (recorded on Tim’s Studer A80 2” 16 Track open reel recorder) and building powerful chord progression and melody, we were able to give it a real punch.”
