“Doubles”? Interesting name. Can’t wait to hear their guitar duel on this one.
always loved Uhlmann’s guitar in Perfume Genius. Super stoked to hear what he’s got for us with Duffy!
Why only instrumental though? Love Duffy’s voice, wish there were vocals.
Half Smile, Euphoric Recall, Glacial Fanfare… these track names sound intriguing. Wonder how they’ll sound.
so excited for this, man! Meg and Gregory are both incredible on the guitar. Doubles gonna be the album of the year, just watch!!!
Woah, didn’t see this comin. Big fan of Hand Habits. Looking forward to this new venture.
Orindal records, never heard of em. guess they’re indie. well as long as the music’s good, who cares, right?
