Vinyl LP pressing. 2024 release. 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 release; Shared Particles, which sold out of the Dinked edition even before it's 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. This new release 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'.
