New Fumes

New Fumes is the solo vehicle of Dallas-based musician and visual artist Daniel Huffman, a journeyman experimentalist known for his work in bands like Comet and Ghostcar. A touring member for cosmic choral rocker <a href="spotify:artist:0inqWv3OS4VpWt691ki8yk">the Polyphonic Spree</a>, Huffman is also an occasional collaborator with <a href="spotify:artist:16eRpMNXSQ15wuJoeqguaB">the Flaming Lips</a>. Stepping out from his role as sideman, he debuted the New Fumes project in 2011 with the noisy space pop of Bump & Assassination via <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Good+Records%22">Good Records</a>. A year later, he joined <a href="spotify:artist:16eRpMNXSQ15wuJoeqguaB">the Lips</a>' eclectic recording entourage, appearing on their album The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends. He worked again with them in 2014, appearing alongside <a href="spotify:artist:5YGY8feqx7naU7z4HrwZM6">Miley Cyrus</a> on their next collaborative release, With a Little Help from My Fwends. Known for his live multimedia performances and his own hand-poured vinyl-producing methods, Huffman spent the next several years slowly developing new material for his follow-up as New Fumes. Recorded in a monolithic dome in Dallas, 2017's Teeming 2 is at once chaotic and melodic, blending together Huffman's various experimental approaches and weirdo rock tendencies. ~ Timothy Monger, Rovi
