The pioneering electro‑industrial provocateurs Lords Of Acid have unleashed their third single of 2026, the deliriously catchy “El Mundo Está Loco” (“The World Is Crazy”). Fusing infectious electronic beats with Latin‑coloured hooks and the band’s unmistakable tongue‑in‑cheek swagger, the track arrives as a dance‑floor anthem tailor‑made for an increasingly unhinged world.
Driven by a chorus that refuses to leave your head and a playful vocal back‑and‑forth between Lords Of Acid and the New York City duo Tony & The Kiki, the song captures the absurdity, chaos and overstimulation of modern life — and offers the only logical response: turn the volume up and dance through the madness.
Tony & The Kiki bring their signature cocktail of gritty NYC glamour, disco decadence, punk attitude, soul, and high‑voltage theatricality. Their unapologetically queer rock‑and‑roll spectacle channels the spirit of Blondie, Queen, and Scissor Sisters, reimagined through a modern, arena‑ready lens. The duo have cultivated a devoted cult following and earned praise from icons including Lady Gaga, Celine Dion, Cyndi Lauper, Grace Slick, and even Fred Durst.
Speaking about the collaboration, Lords Of Acid explain: “It quickly became clear that Tony & The Kiki belonged in the Lords Of Acid universe, so having them guest on ‘El Mundo Está Loco’ felt perfect — loud, chaotic, sexy, theatrical and completely unhinged in all the right ways.” The duo also joined the band as one of the guest acts on the recently completed ‘Cheeky Freaky Tour’ across the USA.
“El Mundo Está Loco” follows the 2026 singles “Karaoke Superstar” (HERE), a neon‑soaked collaboration with US vocalist and DJ Princess Superstar, and “Dream Boy” (HERE), featuring the commanding voice of reigning Acid Queen Carla Harvey. All three tracks will appear on Lords Of Acid’s long‑awaited seventh studio album, due in late 2026 via Metropolis Records and set to include additional high‑profile guest vocalists alongside Harvey.
