Joywave, an American indie rock band, joined forces with the electronic act KOPPS for "Tongues", a track that first slipped out independently in 2013 before Cultco Music and Hollywood Records gave it a proper push in 2014. It sits on the band's EP How Do You Feel? and turned up again on their first full-length, How Do You Feel Now?. Daniel Armbruster and Sean Donnelly wrote it and produced it themselves, a slice of indie pop that practically invites somebody to take it apart and rebuild it.
Remixers took the bait: Giorgio Moroder and Big Data both had a go at it. The official video went up on the band's Vevo channel in May 2014, and the song kept on traveling, onto the soundtrack of the video game FIFA 15 and into a Nexus 6P advertisement.
