"DJ Snake is a genius," said the duo in a press release, adding, "He has the perfect ear, and he put his Snake magic on it. I was really interested in doing a pop song with Elliphant. We did two songs with her. The first one was hardcore techno punk song but after that we wanted to make something beautiful. That ended up being 'Good Day' on the album."

As for the video, it's a thrilling ride through a day in the life of a doomed young couple. There's drug deals gone wrong, a violent set-up, and finally revenge. Watch it above and grab Los Amsterdam here.
