Total Fucking Darkness Drops Irreverent Electronic Anthem “Take It Easy”
Total Fucking Darkness is the ultimate chaotic supergroup, blending the talents of Torquil Campbell (Stars), Stephen Ramsay (Young Galaxy), and English studio wizard Tom McFall (known for his work with REM, Bloc Party, and Regina Spektor). Together, they create music that’s equal parts plastic pop, nihilistic handbag house, and razor-sharp absurdity. Their latest single, “Desolation Boys,” is a wild ride through throbbing synth basslines, relentless drum machines, and warped textures—all wrapped in McFall’s polished but delightfully unhinged production. Campbell’s dramatic croon and Ramsay’s melodic touch bring a theatrical edge to the track’s dance-floor-ready chaos.
Visually, Total Fucking Darkness leans into a post-apocalyptic club aesthetic—DIY grunge meets neon decadence. Picture late-night warehouse raves in a dystopian future, with glitchy VHS visuals, torn velvet curtains, and anarchic fashion that feels both campy and deadly serious. “Desolation Boys” is an anthem for the end times, filled with biting irony and infectious energy, where you can dance while the world crumbles around you.
Total Fucking Darkness returns from the brink with “Take It Easy”—a searing, ironic anthem that fuses dark electronic dance music with apocalyptic humor and raw emotional chaos. Propulsive and unrelenting, the track dares listeners to dance through the existential dread, wielding its deceptively chill title like a sardonic grin in the face of societal collapse. Synths buzz, basslines growl, and frontman Torquil Campbell (Stars) delivers a real-time lyrical sermon that feels equal parts divine revelation and manic episode. With production from Stephen Ramsay (Young Galaxy) and Tom McFall (REM, Bloc Party), the result is a tightly coiled, unholy blend of beauty, brutality, and biting absurdity.
And yes, the sheep are real—buried in the mix like haunted field recordings from a rural fever dream. Are they metaphor? Are they memory? “Take It Easy” offers no answers, only a soundtrack for the end times and a reminder that dancing might be the last act of defiance we have left.
