The Null Club aka Gilla Band guitarist Alan Duggan-Borges is back with new single ‘Overgrown’ featuring exceptional NYC sonic architect Miss Grit who you may have saw support Bartees Strange in The Workman’s Club a while back. ‘Overgrown’ finds the pair in a perfect marriage made in techno and noise.

“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,” Alan explains on the new single, adding: “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.”

Meanwhile Miss Grit offers, “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.”

‘Overgrown’ is available on a limited run of 100 12″ records via Alan and his wife’s record label – here. ‘Overblown’ was mixed by Daniel Fox (Gilla Band), and mastered by Jamie Hyland (M(h)aol). The instrumental was performed and recorded by Alan in his rehearsal studio in Dublin, Ireland.

‘Overgrown’ follows the released of The Null Club’s eponymous debut EP featuring Faris Badwan (The Horrors), Valentine Caulfield (Mandy, Indiana), and ELUCID (Armand Hammer),
