Toronto, Canada-based post-punk/alt-rock artist ThxSoMch fights intrusive thoughts on angsty "Would You?" out now and its haunting, Darren Aronofsky-inspired video out now. On the building, grungy earworm, the artist fends off his fears and anxieties through booming drums, feverish vocals and a hooky melody. Produced by grayskies (D4VD, Wisp) and mixed by the renowned producer and mixer Mike Crossey (Arctic Monkeys, The 1975) "Would You?" out today, is a cheeky, unhinged look into the artist's mind. To ThxSoMch, “Would You?” is a twisted joke with a self-deprecating punchline. It was the first song grayskies and I made in Brazil, and it kind of built itself. It plays with the line between my intrusive thoughts and real actions—dark, sarcastic, and vulnerable beneath the mask." In his own version of a horror short film, the accompanying visual is a dark, uneasy plunge into ThxSoMch's chaotic brain. To bring the vision to life, the director and the artist pulled from Darren Aronofsky–films like Black Swan and Requiem for a Dream. The director shares, "It was always meant to feel unhinged and intimate at the same time. We shot it in Toronto and scaled down the chaos into something way more personal. Easily the most ambitious thing I’ve done—visually, emotionally, all of it." ThxSoMch burst onto the scene in 2022 with viral hit "SPIT IN MY FACE!" which has garnered 672M+ streams on Spotify and charted on the Billboard Hot 100. Since then, after touring the U.S., Europe and taking the Rolling Loud stage, the artist has only continued to elevate, evolve and expand his artistry and fast-growing, fervent global fan base, boasting over 413K followers on TikTok. Now, with over 1B career streams and three tracks with over 100M, he unrelentingly disrupts the post-punk, alt-rock space as he paves his own lane–unapologetically staying true to himself and his artistry like never before and prepares to reach new heights. With "Would You?" out now, ThxSoMch delivers a …
