The Null Club – the project from Gilla Band’s Alan Duggan-Borges – shares new single ‘Frameshift’ which features Brooklyn-based rapper E L U C I D. Alan has spent the last few years writing and producing music using an array of old synths, drum machines, and guitars, leaning into noise, techno and experimental hip hop, as well as post-punk. On 4 April The Null Club release their self-titled debut EP. Working with E L U C I D previously, Alan says of the track:
“ELUCID had reached out to say hey and I ended up producing a track, ‘RFID’ for his record Revelator. ‘Frameshift’ was a track that I had for a good while but I didn’t know what to do with it. I had written and recorded most of it at home. For a good while I had seen it as an instrumental, but part of me always imagined vocals in the second half. I had resigned the track to being an instrumental, and mixed and mastered it. But very late into the making of the EP I reached out to ELUCID to see if would be into working on it. I sent him the track and he came back with his part. He made the track what it is”.
There will be a number of solo shows across Ireland and England where Alan will be reworking the tracks from the EP live along with a number of unheard pieces of music. There will be numerous synths, noise machines, guitars, and many pedals on stage all being looped into different amps to bring the songs to life in a live setting.
