The Null Club, a project from Gilla Band’s Alan Duggan-Borges, have released their self-titled debut EP alongside new single ’14 Hours’, featuring Faris Badwan of The Horrors.
Duggan-Borges has crafted the EP using a combination of vintage synths, drum machines, and guitars, exploring elements of noise, techno, experimental hip-hop, and post-punk. The collaborative project features guest vocals from Badwan, Valentine Caulfield of Mandy, Indiana, and E L U C I D of Armand Hammer.
Speaking about ’14 Hours’, Duggan-Borges says: “Faris had reached out to Gilla Band to say hello a while back and I managed to convince him to guest on this track. I’ve been a massive fan of The Horrors since I was in my teens so it was really cool to work with him on this. I flew over to London to hang out with him for two days and we wrote and recorded the melody in his apartment during that trip. He re-recorded the vocals later. This track uses an MRK drum machine for the beat. This is a piece of gear I have long been obsessed with and when I got one, this track came together very quickly.”
The EP, mixed by Daniel Fox of Gilla Band and mastered by Jamie Hyland, is being released independently through a label operated by Duggan-Borges and his wife. A limited pressing of 500 white label 12″ records will be available, each hand-stamped by Duggan-Borges.
