It was written last out of all the songs and was one of the final tracks to be recorded; completing it definitely felt like a victory. The song\u2019s strength lies in its (purposeful) simplicity and repetition, as well as its stacked and powerful harmonies. The deeper, sonorous qualities in &#8216;Playin\u2019 Dumb&#8217;, such as the low register piano and sax, add weight and potency; our attempt at making a Tchotchke &#8216;wall of sound&#8217;. We sarcastically admit to feigning ignorance to gain some sort of advantage\u2026 but more likely just to amuse ourselves. &#8216;Playin\u2019 Dumb&#8217; is easy to sing along to while your patience continues to be tested. We\u2019d like to think it\u2019s a universal experience!&#8221; \u2013 Emily<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-7224\" src=\"https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Tchotchke_PlayinDumb_BTS_KelseyHart_65-1024x669.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Tchotchke_PlayinDumb_BTS_KelseyHart_65-1024x669.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Tchotchke_PlayinDumb_BTS_KelseyHart_65-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Tchotchke_PlayinDumb_BTS_KelseyHart_65-768x502.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Tchotchke_PlayinDumb_BTS_KelseyHart_65-1536x1004.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Tchotchke_PlayinDumb_BTS_KelseyHart_65-2048x1338.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Director:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>We filmed the girls around Los Angeles as they got into all kinds of ridiculous everyday antics. Some relatable and others hilariously reckless. The humor leans into playful self-mockery, like a throwback to \u201960s TV show <em>The Monkees<\/em>, but with girls goofing off and turning the stereotype on its head. Originally, we planned to shoot with Barbies, but in the spirit of satire, we flipped the script, ditching the Barbies and staging scenes with an all-Ken lineup instead. Just girls being chaotic, clever, and not taking themselves too seriously.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">Photos by <b>Kelsey Hart \u2013 <\/b><\/span><b>@thelittleghost<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Director<b> Ambar Navarro \u2013 @ambarbecutie\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Playin&#8217; Dumb <em>is out on 5th Sept.
