Tungz have written a song about not being able to pay attention, which makes sense given that ‘The Third Switch’ gets you dancing before you’ve clocked you’re doing it.
The London-Paris four-piece, split across cities since vocalist Nicky Green decamped to France, have been quietly becoming one of the more interesting bands operating in this particular corner of psychedelic funk. The 80s polyphony, the driving groove, the slightly unhinged energy: it’s a combination not many pull off without tipping into pastiche, and Tungz don’t tip.
New single ‘The Third Switch’ is a toe-tapping frontal-lobe-dulling synth fest, arriving with a new looseness that suggests the distance between band members has, counterintuitively, freed something up.
The premise borrows from Gene Wilder reanimating a corpse in ‘Young Frankenstein’, one good voltage spike and you’re back in the room, which is a more elegant way of talking about dopamine-fried attention spans.
They’ve got bite, taking on near misses, angry men, marketing teams, naive escapism, and the general noise of being alive in 2026, all delivered with the kind of wit that doesn’t need to announce itself. Fully self-produced, entirely in-house video, zero filler.
A band hitting their stride and clearly aware of it.
