Watch: "Unhinged" (Official Music Video)
Dark with a touch of suspense, "Unhinged" was born from a 2023 voice recording that the artist couldn't get out of his head. He continued to put it down and pick it back up for over a year, until October 2024 while making the forthcoming album. ThxSoMch explains, "When I decided to record some older song ideas, I came back to it. Recorded it, didn’t think much of it, and posted it. To my surprise, it became a fan favourite." Only finished after the album was complete, It ended up being a late addition to The Sound of You Laughing, and finally, it can be streamed and viewed everywhere.
Produced by grayskies (d4vd, Wisp) and mixed by legendary producer and engineer Mike Crossey (The 1975, Arctic Monkeys) the album is as much self-expression as it is escapism, where he finds both solace and catharsis for himself and fans alike.
Recorded over seven months in Brazil, isolated from everything and everyone he knows alongside producer grayskies, ThxSoMch poured himself into a body of work that fully captures everything he is today–it's vulnerable, raw and made with true intention and a clear purpose. Recalling what it felt like to make, the artist shares, "It put me in the best mental place I’ve been in for a long time. No phone, no English, no sense of time—just a flow state that let me escape everything else. Creating this was like a cigarette after a long craving. I hope it can be that for someone else too—a fix, a release, something to hold onto when everything else slips. It’s the sound of acceptance and the sound of burying what’s really going on. It’s mockery and coping, choking and surviving."
The fully-charged project, mixed by legendary producer and engineer Mike Crossey, sees the multi-faceted songwriter, producer and performer find his own sound that disrupts both rock and rap as he delivers a fast-paced, exhilarating and honest examination of the self and life's impermanence.
Full of energy and emotion, ThxSoMch continues, "It isn’t a cure—it’s a distraction. A pause. A breath between breakdowns. Just long enough to feel okay before the weight comes back. You can’t laugh forever. You laugh until you choke. And then it’s not so funny anymore.”
Last month, the artist shared "Sound of You Laughing" which took shape after musician Flawed Mangoes sent the artist various instrumentals, whose evocative guitar riff became the song's foundation. Defiant and uninhibited, each line is delivered with the slight twinge of pain that comes with digging up the past. Including the track on their Wonderlist, Wonderland Magazine wrote, "Angsty dark wave pop is really pulling the punches right now, and Thxsomch is finding his feet in a burgeoning market. 'Sound Of You Laughing' is a sad boi banger with snappy, emotive vocals and heady, guitar-led instrumentation."

ABOUT THXSOMCH
ThxSoMch is a genre-bending artist known for turning intrusive thoughts into anthems. He first caught attention with raw, chaotic tracks like “Spit In My Face!” but quickly proved he wasn’t a one-note act. His music blurs the line between alt, emo, and experimental pop—equal parts violent, vulnerable, and sarcastic. After disappearing to Brazil for 7 months with no phone and no sense of time, he returned sharper, stranger, and more self-aware. His work now feels like a conversation with the part of yourself you usually ignore—dark, funny, and painfully honest.
