PSYCHEDELIC DANCE - POP
Makers of lush, low-key dancefloor anthems, DUAL bring together the raw, glacial power of lead vocalist Maurice Miller with guitarist Jamie Pyne's dynamic guitar lines and electronic production.
From the embers of kiwi four-piece Narwhal, a new and untamed beast was formed.
Over the coming years, a perfect synergy would form between two kiwi songwriters, transcending into a propulsive force of nature. Makers of lush, low-key dancefloor anthems, DUAL bring together the raw, glacial power of lead vocalist Maurice Miller with guitarist Jamie Pyne’s dynamic guitar lines and electronic production for a heady mix of indietronica.
The duality in their sound is a thing of beauty. Jamie was captivated from a young age by the larger-than-life energy of Led Zeppelin, inspiring his approach to DUAL’s live set. Playing in the background of Maurice’s household was an eclectic cocktail of anything from Jamiroquai, The Clash to The Horrors. Coming from a classically trained vocal background, the sheer power and rip-roaring energy in Miller’s voice naturally progressed and developed as the years went by. At times, Maurice goes from a gravel-filled snarl to light and airy reverberation, not dissimilar to early John Lennon.
DUAL partnered up with Warner in 2020 to release dance floor anthem ‘Running Around My Head’ and the timely ‘Lately I Don’t Know’, which both landed major Spotify and Apple Music playlists as well as extensive radio coverage on major NZ radio. The duo released their 2021 hit ‘Two Hands Up’ again landing on Spotifys ‘New Music Friday’ & ‘We Be Vibin’ as well as receiving extensive airplay on all major national radio stations.
