Duvet’s newest track is out today.
On streaming services now, ‘Sweaty Dog’ will join ‘Girlcow’ on a split 7” single, available from October 6th.
The track sees vocalist Grace Walkden let loose over Victoria Melling’s frenetic drums, accompanied by guitar snarls courtesy of Tasmin Stephens and Seth Lloyd, and grounding bass from Jimmi Brown.
Reflecting on the song, the Manchester band say…
‘Sweaty Dog’ is a simple song about the state you become after a long night out going from place to place, trying to stay out till you develop an animalistic state covered in sweat, booze and other substances while trying to still dance and have fun waiting for your next drink.
Some of us in the band like the idea that maybe the ‘Sweaty Dog’ is a dance you do or that they’re this actual half man half dog. We hope everyone has as much fun listening to the track as we do playing it, and just take it for what it is… Our party rock anthem!
Released in August, ‘Girlcow’ is inflected with the same sense of humour. Set to a grungier sound, the band write from the perspective of “a pervy cowboy”, but keep the overarching tone lighthearted. Tamsin explained…
“The reason we tend to write songs more of the fun side of life is because myself and Grace had many conversations at the start about how people only expect us to only talk/sing about harsh topics that affect a lot of women. We tried it, but it didn’t work for us. Maybe in the future it will, but we came to the conclusion that we are here to have fun with the band and escape that side of life.”
Tune in now.
