100 Gecs Releases “hand crushed by a mallet”
100 gecs have released a video for their latest single “hand crushed by a mallet.” The clip, Directed by Weston Allen, the zany visual is a warped-speed and bizarre take on a wild feud featuring chess matches, oversized weapons and destroyed computers. The new visual accompanies the debut of the original version of ‘hand crushed by a mallet’, the track is off the gecs’ debut album 1000 gecs. The release of the original version of ‘hand crushed by a mallet’ follows an acclaimed remix version from much-lauded remix album 1000 gecs & The Tree of Clues that features Fall Out Boy, Craig Owens and Nicole Dollanganger, and came alongside a video by Dario Alva.
1000 gecs & The Tree of Clues pushes the boundaries of what music can sound like and breathes new life into one of the most exciting debuts in recent memory, with the standout single ‘money machine’ taking over TikTok and YouTube again. The album is the first on new label Big Beat/Atlantic Records and took shape as the result of crowd-sourcing, garnering official remixes from friends and familiar names, as well as fans who received stems for the album via the band’s Twitter. 1000 gecs & The Tree of Clues continues a hyper-productive year for the duo, following their virtual Minecraft festival experience, Square Garden, which drew in 178,000 total viewers between Minecraft, Twitch and YouTube, and raised over $50,000 for Feeding America, The duo also embarked on a North American run with BROCKHAMPTON and slowthai, and a “Secret Tour” which saw the duo headline seven sold-out one-off shows.
