I’m thrilled to present the official music video for “Get a Little Dopamine”, a song co-written by Andy Arthur Smith and me. This track merges Andy’s exceptional vocal versatility with my genre-jumping style of instrumentation and production. With our powers combined, I think we captured the chaos and allure of casual dopamine addiction—wrapped in a two-and-a-half-minute funk, reggae, synthwave, apocalyptic metal burrito. 🌯
Andy is not only an outstanding vocalist but also a formidable content creator with over 97 million likes on TikTok (almost four times the population of Australia!), earning him praise from other comedic talents and vocal powerhouses—including the one and only Jack Black! His ability to smash out melismatic melodies and complex vocal improvisation added a new dimension to the song and made working with him a genuine pleasure.
This marks my first song and video release since working like an animal for 15 years on Twelve Foot Ninja. One reflection that came up for me during this process was how refreshing it is to experience genuine appreciation from Andy and his team for what I bring to the table—musically, conceptually, and otherwise. Turns out, I actually do like doing this stuff…
Hopefully, this is the first of many more to come. Next up: Shiprocked 2025! (better start bloody practicing!)
