CLUNK Recommends | Y – Duplicate

South London’s collective Y continue to create genre-defying tracks ahead of the release of their upcoming EP ‘ENTER‘

Enigmatic London collective Y have shared their new single ‘Duplicate’, marking the third reveal from their upcoming EP ‘ENTER’, set for release May 8th.

A staple in South London’s eclectic Windmill Brixton scene, Y are a collective built on friction. Their live shows are a journey of tension and release, forming chaotic parties and an opportunity for fans to really let themselves go. 

‘Duplicate’ continues those themes, clashing a soft melodic acoustic intro into the face of full-force sax squeals and vocal screams. It’s genre-defying, blending elements of punk, jazz and electro into one tantalising mix.  

Speaking on the track, Y added: “‘Duplicate’ is a song about narcissists. Control freaks wanting to create a world full of carbon copies of themselves. To echo their beliefs. Just don’t dare fly too high or have an original thought. It’s a cult mentality. It’s a con. A mirage of strength in numbers.” 

There are plenty of opportunities to catch Y in the upcoming months, as they head out to play festivals galore alongside their debut UK headline tour in May. If you want to catch something totally unique and let loose, get down to one of these shows:
