Dutch five-piece De Staat have released their new single, Mona Lisa, today.

"Based on an old school shuffle beat, surrounded by synthesized fuzzy guitars, we approached recording Mona Lisa as if it were a blues song from the future," says frontman Torre Florim.

The song is taken from their fifth studio album, Bubble Gum, which will be out on January 18 through Caroline International.
