No Windows have shared their new single 'Easter Island', and announced 2025 tour dates
Edinburgh duo No Windows release collaborative duet 'Easter Island' from upcoming EP 'The Great Traitor' and announce UK tour dates.
Edinburgh duo No Windows have unveiled their latest single 'Easter Island', taken from their upcoming EP 'The Great Traitor', set for release via Fat Possum Records on 9th May.
The track marks the first time the band have written a duet to be sung from start to finish, featuring acoustic arrangements with piano, vibraphone and tape loop elements. The release follows their 2024 EP 'Point Nemo' and accompanies a new run of live dates across the UK.
"Easter Island may be the most collaborative song we've written, there was almost no separation between both of our roles in that moment," says Morgan Morris. "Usually, our instinct after finishing on a song's spine is to think about arrangement, instrumentation, and production. The works. However, after finishing up Easter Island, we felt perfectly content with where it was. The song remains almost the same as when we played it in my room for the first time."
Verity Slangen adds: "It was written at the end of the relationship that inspired so much of this EP, I have written so many breakup songs and this one shows my maturity in being able to take a gentler and more nuanced approach on the situation. As Morgan said, I cannot separate our roles in this song, I felt very unrooted while writing it, and the collaborative element signifies to me the most constant thing in my life, music and me and Morgan's relationship."
'The Great Traitor' EP was produced by Ali Chant, known for his work with Dry Cleaning, Sorry, and Yard Act.
