Ductape - Labyrinth

Just like SHE PAST AWAY, this duo comes from a country that nobody really had on their radar in terms of Post-Punk/Darkwave until the planetary success of the Turkish act!

Ductape is a female/male post-punk/darkwave duo based in Istanbul, Turkey, formed in 2019. Furkan Güleray is the guitar player, and Çagla Güleray is the vocalist and synth player of the band. After releasing their first EP “Little Monsters” and video clips, shot during lockdown days in June 2020, the duo entered the studio to record this album with 8 songs.

This time the duo included 2 songs in their native Turkish language (all others are in English). The first digital single “Wooden Girl” was released in November with a video clip drawing attention to femicide and child abuse. The contradictions, inner chaos, and anger faced when confronting oneself form the general mood of the album. The fluctuating song traffic - sometimes the melodies stuck in a loop - are among the striking elements of the duo's sound.

LABIRENT (labyrinth) is looking for a way out of this world of thoughts and chaos. Mix and mastering of the album was done by the Blue House Studios in New Zealand, and the cover art was designed by Çagla Güleray herself.
