Another Night is a sultry slice of soul that feels like the soundtrack to a movie I can’t wait to watch. The production work shimmers, capturing a slight feeling of the American Dream to it - it’s all motor cars and endless possibilities. Soulful vocals draw me in and the whole thing feels both modern and old timey. It’s neon lights on the strip captured through the gaze of an Instagram filter.
Two Another were actually born and raised in Sydney, Australia, where they drew inspiration from Bag Raiders, Cut Copy, Tame Impala and Flight Facilities amongst others. The duo, Angus Campbell and Eliot Porter, now reside between London and Amsterdam and their melding of that American Motown sound with electronic production comes from a distinctly European place. The deep bass notes boom like sound leaking through the paper thin walls of a Bristol terrace, full of a rawness that offsets the glittering strings and keys.
This new single is somewhat of a departure from previous releases, having been written in its entirity, sat at a piano. Two Another then worked with UK producer Utters in order to build the song out. Eliot Porter describes the process:
“Working with Utters, we were able to bring the song to life, recording strings and making the sound a little darker to shine light on the vulnerability of the song by referencing 90’s trip hop artists like Portishead and Massive Attack. We have been on this journey for a few years and truly overwhelmed by the reaction to our music.. We have enjoyed being able to make records with some of our favourite musicians around the world and release them independently. We reconnected in the studio earlier this year, drawing inspiration from both our lives. Sonically the project represents a different direction for us – more emotive and raw than our previous work.”
