Ahead of delivering debut album take the cake next month, Toronto's PACKS has shared another new single from the LP.

"New TV" follows the previously shared "Hangman" and "Silvertongue," and arrives alongside a video. In it, founder Madeline Link gets comfy on the couch with cartoons and cereal, while her performance is broadcast on screens of all sizes.

As Link told The FADER, "I got the chance to witness a craigslist transaction of two bros selling a hideous pink couch to an eager young man with a U-HAUL. As they lovingly demonstrated the LA-Z-BOY function, everyone seemed pretty impressed. New TV boxes and old couches litter curbs every garbage day. This song goes out to other people's garbage."

take the cake arrives digitally on May 21 through Royal Mountain and Fire Talk Records, with physical editions set to land July 9.
