HAAi touring w/ The Blessed Madonna (watch the video for “Biggest Mood Ever” ft Alexis Taylor)

London-based producer HAAi (aka Teneil Throssell) released new album Baby, We're Ascending back in May via Mute, featuring appearances by Jon Hopkins, Hot Chip's Alexis Taylor, Kai-Isaiah Jamal, and Obi Franky. You can listen to the whole thing below.

The new single from the record is the the Alexis Taylor collab, "Biggest Mood Ever," which is sweeping and orchestral but still ripe for the dancefloor. “Teneil and I wanted to make a song together and kept excitedly talking about it," says Taylor. "I expected a techno banger but was so pleased that she sent this transcendental hyperballad. I went into a trance and recorded these words straight away. ‘The heart shows signs that must not be ignored.’ This song may crush you emotionally, if you are open to it.”

We're premiering the video for "Biggest Mood Ever" which features very trippy animation by The Horrors' Tom Furse, who says, “The video was made by taking a video Alexis shot on his phone of him miming to the track and me using all manner of AI and otherwise wizardry to transform that into this psychedelic representation, telling his story of love as he drifts through and past the world.” Watch that below.

HAAi will be in the US this fall for a few shows, most of which are supporting The Blessed Madonna, including NYC's Ruins at Knockdown Center on October 2 with Honey Bun also on the bill. They'll also play Los Angeles, Denver, Chicago, and Miami, and San Francisco's Portola Festival. All dates are listed below.
