December 14, 2018

Dutch five-piece De Staat have released their new single, Mona Lisa, today.

"Based on an old school shuffle beat, surrounded by synthesized fuzzy guitars, we approached recording Mona Lisa as if it were a blues song from the future," says frontman Torre Florim.

The song is taken from their fifth studio album, Bubble Gum, which will be out on January 18 through Caroline International.

Watch the video below.

The band will tour the UK in February. Catch them at:

05 Norwich Waterfront
06 Nottingham Bodega
07 Newcastle O2 Academy 2
08 Glasgow King Tuts
09 Manchester Band On The Wall
11 Bristol Thekla
12 London Borderline
