About this listen
Duke Teynor explodes into uncharted creativeterritory with "Energy Gum"—a vibrant indie pop anthem that tradesSouthern Gothic shadows and German industrial darkness for pure, unapologeticsunshine energy. This isn't the Duke Teynor of haunted pinewoods or Berlintechno basements; this is Duke embracing commercial pop sensibility with thesame fearless authenticity he brings to every genre he touches.
Clocking in at 140 BPM with infectiouselectronic synths, driving basslines, and layered vocal harmonies that wouldmake Tame Impala nod in approval, "Energy Gum" is unabashedly fun—acelebration of focus, productivity, and that caffeine-fueled flow state we allchase. The production incorporates subtle gum-chewing percussion effects thattransform mundane into musical, turning the simple act of chewing into rhythmictexture. It's clever, playful, and demonstrates Duke Teynor's production versatility.
The music video mirrors the song's energeticoptimism with explosive color palettes—neon pinks, electric blues, brightyellows that contrast sharply with Duke's typically moody cinematography. Shotacross dynamic urban locations including coffee shops, creative studios,skateparks, and rooftop performances, the video captures modern hustle culturewith genuine enthusiasm rather than cynicism.
