English electronic duo The Chemical Brothers have dropped their new single "The Darkness That You Fear" today.

The track was first heard during this week’s Apple’s spring event. Its accompanying music video, which can be seen below, was directed by Ruffmercy, who previously worked with Thom Yorke and Run The Jewels. When it comes to the visual, Ruffmercy said:

“When I first heard the song I immediately connected with the theme and the overall positive vibe. New government rules for relaxing lockdown had been announced and combined with the sun shining, it left me feeling positive about the forthcoming summer. It also triggered a strong sense of nostalgia that led to me going back to look for visual inspiration from the period in time when I first discovered The Chemical Brothers in the mid ’90’s. The video combines archive rave footage from the mid to late 90’s with hand painted Super 8 film textures and hand drawn animation. I love using colour to create chaos and evoke emotions and this was the perfect project to do that.”

"The Darkness That You Fear" is available on all streaming services right now. This is the act’s first release since their 2019 studio album No Geography, which earned a Grammy Award for Best Electronic/Dance Album.
