Premiere: Thalab – ‘Wreck’

Barcelona duo with a sound that is difficult to pin down...

Thalab are cousins, and spent their teens wandering the streets of their native Barcelona while listening to the latest music.

Exploring everything from left field house to acoustic songwriting, the duo built up a sound that patiently refused to be categorised.

Shadow Child invited the pair to take part in a remix project, helping Thalab to gain wider attention. Inspired, the pair finally made the leap they'd been waiting for and moved to London.

New cut 'Wreck' is available now via Juicebox Recordings – purchase link HERE – and it's an apt introduction to a curious new group.

Entirely collaborative, 'Wreck' finds two voices, two approaches, fusing into one. The shimmering melodic surface masks complex percussive ticks and flourishes, a fascinating composition that fascinates and confuses.
