Tchotchke have shared “Now I Love You,” the latest single off their forthcoming album Playin’ Dumb, available September 5th. “Now I Love You” follows two sunny singles “Poor Girl” and “Did You Hear?” The accompanying video, directed by Kaila Chambers and Hilla Eden, is awash in colors that evoke the mood of 60s French films. Sanchez elaborates on the song: “This song was started in 2019 but quietly took a backseat until 2023. Eva and I revisited it and made a super minimal demo that we loved so much, we decided to keep it exactly as it was. It’s our short and sweet insecure love song.” Along with the news, the trio have announce a North American tour opening for Hunx and His Punx, starting September 9th in New York City.

The band fully arranged and demoed the tracks, before heading to the studio with album producers Lemon Twigs. Recorded at The Vegetable Attic in Brooklyn, Playin’ Dumb was recorded over the course of four seasons. Tchotchke would jump back into the studio whenever there was a chance in the Lemon Twigs’ touring schedule; from sweating it out above the wilting vegetables to walking on ice with guitars and enduring days without the heat on in order to get the perfect studio sound. An original board game designed by Eva accompanies the vinyl release of Playin’ Dumb.
