Birmingham musical duo Allen and Douglas are back with another new track – aptly titled single – ‘All the Right Noises’.

The pair have been crafting songs together since their teens – strumming, singing and concocting songs in old railway stations and under canal bridges – and ‘All the Right Noises’ affords us an early taste of their forthcoming new, so far untitled album. The aptly titles new single continues their adventures in off-kilter/left-field indie, although with a real directness. Heavy, muscular riffs are met with powerful vocals, splashes of harmonies, and orchestral flourishes. Yet another magnificent and distinctive of what Allen & Douglas possess in their arsenal.

Nothing firm in way of details regards the forthcoming record – more on that when we have it – until then you can listen to ‘All The Right Noises’ below.

Introducing: Allen and Douglas

Allen and Douglas are a musical duo from Birmingham, who together, have been crafting songs since their teens.

Strumming, singing and crafting songs in old railway stations and under canal bridges since their teens, the pair have developed a sound through a process of trial and error. While heavy on harmonies,there is something off-kilter or left-field about their brand of indie, exemplified by the magnificent ‘Eve’. The combined draw of scratchy guitar stabs (reminiscent of ’80s Billy Bragg) and reaching harmonies coupled leave a lasting, curious impression. Similarly excellent and distinctive are ‘Some Weird Armageddon’ and ‘My Head’s Talking Too Much’. With several hiatuses under their belt they record regularly in a small bedroom studio in Birmingham UK – their output is is both regular and rather astounding.
