Gilla Band's Alan Duggan-Borges has released his debut EP as The Null Club
Gilla Band guitarist releases experimental electronic EP featuring guest vocals from The Horrors' Faris Badwan and other collaborators.
The Null Club, a project from Gilla Band's Alan Duggan-Borges, have released their self-titled debut EP alongside new single '14 Hours', featuring Faris Badwan of The Horrors.
Duggan-Borges has crafted the EP using a combination of vintage synths, drum machines, and guitars, exploring elements of noise, techno, experimental hip-hop, and post-punk. The collaborative project features guest vocals from Badwan, Valentine Caulfield of Mandy, Indiana, and E L U C I D of Armand Hammer.
Speaking about '14 Hours', Duggan-Borges says: "Faris had reached out to Gilla Band to say hello a while back and I managed to convince him to guest on this track. I've been a massive fan of The Horrors since I was in my teens so it was really cool to work with him on this. I flew over to London to hang out with him for two days and we wrote and recorded the melody in his apartment during that trip. He re-recorded the vocals later. This track uses an MRK drum machine for the beat. This is a piece of gear I have long been obsessed with and when I got one, this track came together very quickly."
The EP, mixed by Daniel Fox of Gilla Band and mastered by Jamie Hyland, is being released independently through a label operated by Duggan-Borges and his wife. A limited pressing of 500 white label 12" records will be available, each hand-stamped by Duggan-Borges.
