Occasionally, great music can evade our expansive radar. Since the internet is updated with millions of pieces of information each day, it's basically inevitable that something good might go unnoticed. However, most good things come around to us eventually, and that's exactly what happened with Duologue's latest EP, Memex. While the name Duologue implies only a two-member group, that isn't the case here, as the band is actually made up of five people based in London, and if you happen to be a fan of shadowy electronic and soft vocals, then you'll absolutely adore each and every one of the members' efforts. "Operator" prevailed as our favorite track on the EP, partially because of its incredible evolution from mellow to monumental. What begins as a smooth set of synths, percussion, guitar, and vocals progresses through fluctuating electronic layers and perfectly timed echoes, eventually building into a colossal sonic mountain. The extended crescendo is a beautiful mix between intensity and serenity, making for a segment that is absolutely awe-inspiring. "3 Traps" is slightly less epic in scale, but certainly doesn't lack in beauty or creativity. Vocal layers, guitar elements, and electronic nuances are the song's main components, all of which maintain a smooth vibe, and if you find yourself longing for more material after this second effort (and our other two featured below), go ahead and grab their whole EP HERE on iTunes.
