Eight New-ish Acts To See At Glastonbury 2014 [Festival Preview]

Glastonbury Festival (25-29 June '14, Somerset) // Words: Saam Das

If you're off to Glastonbury this year, then you're probably all but packed and mentally steeling yourself for the oncoming rain. I'm much, much less well prepared. The 2014 festival headliners include Arcade Fire, Metallica, Kasabian, and other huge acts with which you'll undoubtedly have some familiarity. So instead of talking about them, we've rounded up a selection of new-ish acts that you might want to check out over the course of Glastonbury 2014.

Listen: Duologue - Underworld [New Single]

Words: Saam Das

It's about two years since we first featured experimental five-piece Duologue, and since then they've put out a couple of remixes and a couple of EPs before taking a bit of a breather. They have returned with a typically engrossing new single, the double A-sided 'Underworld' and 'Zeros'. Listen to the former below.

Remixed: The Drums - How It Ended (Duologue Remix) [Premiere]

Remixed is a column that will highlight remixes we actually think are worthy of praise, be they old or new. Because most remixes are rubbish. // Words: Saam Das

Duologue already have past form on producing not-diabolically-crap remixes, with their excellent recent Givers remix. Their newest slice of brilliance twists the latest single from The Drums into a wide-eyed, hot electronic mess. We're premièring the track and you can download it for free below. Prepare to be razzle-dazzled.

Remixed: Givers - Up Up Up (Duologue Remix)

We've had our eyes on Duologue for some time now and we've liked Givers even longer than that. It's odd that they would come together but this is clearly a case when opposites attract. Download the glitchy take on the uplifting 'Up Up Up' below.

Back in November, Duologue got the Surfacing treatment for their experimental industrial meets orchestral sound, evoking comparisons to Thom Yorke and Patrick Wolf. Now Duologue are back, and have also thankfully lifted the curtain slightly on their outfit.
