Duologue have unveiled the video for their new single ‘Zeros’ which is set for release as a double a-side single along with ‘Underworld’ on 29th October via Killing Moon. Both of these new tracks are taken from the band’s forthcoming debut album ’Song and Dance’ which will be released on 18th February 2013. You can now watch the official video for ‘Zeros’ below.
The London based 5-piece began with two original members – Tim Digby-Bell and Toby Leeming (vocals/live programming and beats) – producing on a computer whilst at Edinburgh University. Both realised what they were creating was sounding too big for just a couple of people to play. Seb Dilleyston was brought in to add atmospheres on violin having previously trained with world renowned violinist Maria Eitler. Toby Lee was next to join on guitar and then bassist Ross Stone completed the line-up. Bonding over a mixture of the best in pulsing electronica and guitar-based music, they’ve fused this eclecticism into a sound of their own.
This double a-side single is the finest example yet of what Duologue do so well. ‘Underworld' builds serenely, focused almost solely on vocals before a visceral soundscape of guitars, programmed beats, drums, and piano collide in the mix. Its crescendo filters back to just that simmering vocal and a stark piano, whist ‘Zeros' opens on a dirty, bluesy guitar riff, before Duologue’s programming and beats fill the song in a cacophony of sound.
Having already self-produced and released two EPs, showcasing their ability to encompass a wide range of sounds and references, the final piece of the puzzle came with the introduction of producer Jim Abbiss (Adele, Arctic Monkeys, Ladytron). In March 2012 the band and Jim holed up in a Chatham studio and began work – with many of the parts already formed and recorded, Jim took on a co-production role, intuitively helping them further enhance their sonic make-up. Digital synths were replaced by richer analogue gear, real strings replaced programmed ones, and even the inclusion of a church organ. Duologue’s debut album, ‘Song and Dance’, is the culmination of a year’s preparation honing and self editing their eclectic sound and huge catalog of demos in preparation to record.
Following the release of ‘Underworld/Zeros', Duologue will play a single launch party at The Lexington, London on Wednesday 31st October. Click Here to Compare & Buy Duologue Tickets.
