Age of Consent announce new single Heartbreak
released 11/6/2012
Heartbreak is the second single from experimental duo Age of Consent. Exploring the territory between pop music and something all together more strange.
Heartbreak is a dark, bittersweet, danceable track.
With
a percussive Prince-like drum sound and skittering analogue
synthesizers that fizz into forlorn, melodic vocals, Heartbreak is an
after-dark hymn to a long-dead love affair. The song takes it’s
inspiration from the death of loved ones and reimagines the loss as the
harrowing end of a relationship.

Drawing
upon a passion for brooding electronic music such as Fever Ray and Soft
Cell, Age of Consent produced this single along with previous
collaborator & producer, Luke Smith who has previously worked with
Depeche Mode and Foals. Including on the B-Side their metronomic cover
version of Suicide's 'Ghost Rider', which has become something of a live
favourite.
Age of
Consent are Joe Reeves and Darren Cullen. After meeting at Glasgow
School of Art they moved to London to make music and produce remixes for
the likes of La Roux, Gary Numan and The Toxic Avenger. Their first
single 'The Beach' was released in late 2011.
Age of Consent have confirmed two UK shows:
7th May - London, The Macbeth - w/ Trippple Nippples
13th June - London, The Macbeth - Single launch show - w/ T.W.I.N.S
