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

Directed by Gareth Phillips (Cat's Eyes, Is Tropical) the video references the French Situationist movement and their idea; “Sous le paves. la plage” / “Beneath the pavement, the beach”. Drawing upon dream-like imagery, it explores the desire to escape from normality.
