Vagabon Shares Video for New Single "Do Your Worst"

"I set out to make an instrumental that drew from the music you'd hear at an underground club in Germany or the UK yet still lived in the Vagabon musical lexicon"

Last month, Vagabon announced a new album called Sorry I Haven't Called — at the time, she shared the clattering, light-as-air single "Can I Talk My Shit?" and today we get another taste of the album in "Do Your Worst."

"Do Your Worst" is a dusky, breakbeat-driven dance number that finds Lætitia Tamko telling a lover, "You turn me into someone I don't fuck with." 

"I was nestled in the German countryside when Teo Halm, who co-produced this with me, and I were experimenting in my home studio late into the night," Tamko said in a statement. "I was listening to a lot of club music and I set out to make an instrumental that drew from the music you'd hear at an underground club in Germany or the UK yet still lived in the Vagabon musical lexicon. A year later, when I returned to the US, I got Rostam involved and he had a great idea of adding a layer of live drums on top of the breakbeat from my Germany session."

Sorry I Haven't Called arrived September 15. Vagabon will be heading on tour in support of the album, stopping in Toronto in October and Vancouver in December.
