Ak/Dk - Strange Loops - VINYL LP

Vinyl LP pressing. 2024 . With blistering rhythms and searing bass, AK/DK return with their highly anticipated fourth album, 'Strange Loops'. It builds on the momentum of their previous ; Shared Particles, which sold out of the Dinked edition even before it's and achieved no. 7 in the Indie Record Store charts. Known for their trademark motorik energy and riotous joy, AK/DK are back, and for the first time, they've introduced guest vocalists into the fray. This new sees the drum and synth duo collaborate with three exciting artists the musician TVAM, punk poet - Thick Richard, and I Am Fya; sound artist. The angular guitars and spaced-out vocals of TVAM intertwine with the duo's driving beats and convulsing synths, resulting in the pulsating Devo-esque powerhouse of 'Square Route'. The two bands have been crossing paths on festival line ups for a while now and it seemed inevitable that they should join forces. I Am Fya's usual experimental textures and sound-collage is temporarily put to one side on 'Pull Up'. For this deep and heavy sub-rattling cut; I Am Fya and AK/DK lean heavily into sound system bass and dancehall style. Her febrile and powerful vocals interweave with tectonic sub bass and stuttering rhythms, sounding like Missy Elliot jamming with a modular synth. Manchester's very own Thick Richard adds his lyrical, jet-black humor to the track 'Nobody Shouts'. Album Tracks 1. Square Route 2. Nobody Shouts 3. Strange Loop 4. Pull Up 5. Munch Machine 6.
