Two Friends team up with MOD SUN on their latest release, “Timebomb,” a sunny song about the highs and lows of summer love. Out July 1st via Helix Records, the song draws inspiration from the pop-punk sounds of our youth, with MOD SUN’s playful lyrics painting a picture of romance that’s as explosive as it is exciting.
MOD SUN connected easily with the duo, explaining that “there’s something special about the authenticity of Two Friends. They are clearly doing what they love + almost more importantly to me at least, being themselves. I love this song and had an amazing time making it with them. I got to leave my comfort zone of some of the vocal parts and in turn actually learned some new skills while creating it.”
Speaking on the creative partnership, Two Friends are “super stoked to share Timebomb with everyone. It honestly feels like one of the most natural fusions between the kind of stuff we grew up listening to, and the dance music landscape today. MOD SUN was such an awesome dude to work with and we’re huge fans of everything he’s been doing, so we couldn’t be more pumped to release this one together. Very excited to play this one on tour.”
More on Two Friends:
“Timebomb” is yet another hit in the making from Two Friends bandmates Matt Halper and Eli Sones. The dance-pop duo have quickly grown from high school bedroom producers to one of the most in-demand independent acts of the landscape today. Initially recognized for their viral remixes of classic hits such as “Mr. Brightside” and “I Miss You” and their award-winning Big Bootie Mixes, Two Friends have developed into a dynamic powerhouse, producing original hits such as “Looking At You”, “Take It Off”, and “Emily”. Their first single of 2022, “Wish You Were Here” featuring John K, struck a chord with fans thanks to its heartfelt message and moving video, directed by Matt Shaffar. Never content to stick to just one style, Two Friends showcases their versatility on “Timebomb” with MOD SUN on vocals.
