The Null Club has enlisted Miss Grit for new single 'Overgrown'
The single is available on a limited edition run of 100 vinyl records.
The Null Club, the project of Gilla Band's Alan Duggan-Borges, have unveiled a new single titled 'Overgrown', featuring New York artist Miss Grit.
'Overgrown' is self-released on a limited edition run of 100 12” records, managed by a label run by Alan and his wife. Mixing duties were handled by Daniel Fox of Gilla Band, with mastering by Jamie Hyland from M(h)aol. The instrumental aspects of the track were recorded by Alan in his Dublin studio.
Discussing 'Overgrown', Alan comments, "The hypnotic but kind of punishing nature of a 909 kick drum is something I’ve always searched for in music. When I first got a 909 drum machine and heard how full the kick drum could be by itself, I got lost in that specific low end for a good few weeks. The studio where I write has some big big subs, so I would sit there for hours chasing the full sound of those drums. That was the starting point of this track. When I had a rough pass of the instrumental done, Miss Grit added vocals and life to the track. The whole thing came together quite naturally and the vocals added so much feel and texture to the track."
Miss Grit adds, "I’ve been a fan of Alan’s work for a while now so I was honestly shocked he wanted to work with me. When he sent over the track I was obsessed, but also intimidated because it was so good and I didn’t know how I was gonna make it sound any better than it already was. I ended up writing lyrics about that basically - the overthinking and self-consciousness that often gets stirred up in myself when collaborating. I was so happy hearing the final version. Alan made me sound so much better than I thought I did."
Earlier this year, The Null Club released their debut EP, which included collaborations with Faris Badwan of The Horrors, Valentine Caulfield of Mandy, Indiana, and ELUCID of Armand Hammer.
