Brighton synth punk /electronic/krautrock/disco duo AK/DK have offered up details of their upcoming fourth studio album ‘Strange Loops‘.
The band have previously released the lead single “Nobody Shouts” featuring Manchester punk poet Matt Thick Richard. The 9-track record will be out on October 25 via Little Miss Echo Recordings. Pre-order your copy here.
With blistering rhythms and searing bass, ‘Strange Loops’ builds on the momentum of their previous release; Shared Particles (2020), which sold out the Dinked edition even before its release, 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.
‘Strange Loops’ represents a new chapter in the duo’s evolution. The release sees the band collaborating with guest vocalists for the first time, adding a new dimension to their already rich soundscape. Inspired by iconic albums like Talking Heads’ ‘Remain In Light’, Bowie’s ‘Low’ and Kate Bush’s ‘Hounds Of Love’, ‘Strange Loops’ is a conceptual masterpiece, split into two distinct halves. The A side delivers infectious, high-energy tracks, while the B side explores more experimental and ambient territories.
