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 the Polyphonic Spree, Huffman is also an occasional collaborator with the Flaming Lips. Stepping out from his role as sideman, he debuted the New Fumes project in 2011 with the noisy space pop of Bump Assassination via Good Records. A year later, he joined the Lips' eclectic recording entourage, appearing on their album The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends. He worked again with them in 2014, appearing alongside Miley Cyrus 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
