THXSOMCH splashes chaos across canvas in “Unhinged” video, gears up for debut album & fall tour

Toronto punk provocateur ThxSoMch has taken the phrase “paint the town” to another level, this time splattering an entire art gallery in black paint under relentless strobe lights. The striking visual, created alongside contemporary artist Jack Carden, is the backdrop for his latest music video “Unhinged,” now streaming everywhere.

The track arrives ahead of his commanding debut album, The Sound of You Laughing, set to drop August 29 via Atlantic Records, available now for pre-save. Produced by grayskies (d4vd, Wisp) and mixed by Mike Crossey (Arctic Monkeys, The 1975), the record promises an adrenaline charged mix of vulnerability, rebellion, and catharsis.

“Unhinged” wasn’t always destined for the tracklist. ThxSoMch first recorded the skeleton of the song back in 2023, only to shelve it for months. “When I decided to record some older song ideas, I came back to it… to my surprise, it became a fan favorite,” he shares. The final version came together only after the rest of the album was finished, making it a late but powerful addition to The Sound of You Laughing.

The album itself (presave here) was forged during a seven month creative exile in Brazil. No phone, no English, no clock— just an immersive, isolated flow state with producer grayskies. “Creating this was like a cigarette after a long craving,” ThxSoMch says. “It isn’t a cure, it’s a distraction… You can’t laugh forever. You laugh until you choke.”

Fans can expect a sound that straddles alt-rock nostalgia and modern intensity, blending jagged guitars and honest lyricism.
