Ducks Ltd. by Colin Medley
Ducks Ltd.’s new album is out on February 9th.
Heavy Bag is the final preview of Ducks Ltd.‘s forthcoming Harm’s Way LP.
“It’s about despair and the way that misery loves company,” Tom McGreevy says. “The way that when people are in a bad place they try to undermine the people who are down there with them. To keep them and hold them there.”
It’s an incredibly ugly impulse, but one that if I’m being honest I’ve caught myself indulging in the past. We tried to do something we hadn’t done before on this one musically, and had to kind of reverse a lot of our instincts in building the arrangement. But it felt like what ultimately suited the song.
“Macie Stewart and Briar Darling ended up improvising a lot of the string layers at the end which had some really exciting results.”
“Harm’s Way finds them in places on which at least the journey to sounds great,” Live4ever concluded in our 8/10 review.
