Live Review: Antony & Cleopatra share new dancefloor-ready single, 'Twitch'

16 November 2017 | 12:51 pm | Emma Jones

Off the back of their triumphant recent single, 'Dust', and their beautiful collaboration with MOTEZ in 'The Future' (which has amassed over 3 million streams on Spotify), ANTONY & CLEOPATRA are back with another new single today, and a whole lot of good news. Not only are they about to tour the country with ALISON WONDERLAND for her SCAREHOUSE projects, the duo are also excited to announce they're taking the next huge step of their careers by signing to Dew Process / Universal Music Australia, as they ready their long-awaited debut album set for release next year.

Antony & Cleopatra have always known their way around killer tracks, but there is something about 'Twitch', and arguably 'Dust' too, that feels like it's a certain turning point for the duo. With a certain level of restraint, they add in just a little bit as they go along to build a glorious, all-out dance track that is utterly infectious. While their earlier music from previous years might have had some 80's and 90's influences, 'Twitch' is as modern as it gets, with futuristic styles laid into some classic dance grooves.

With a spoken word hook that's repeated by both members of the pair, it's complemented by some bouncy synths to really get you moving. Growing in intensity, the duo use their trademark dynamic production to craft tense builds and glowing, explosive breakdowns that serve not only as a force that will have you up and moving in no time, but also as another example of the direction they seem to be heading in - and it's a direction we can't get enough of.

'Twitch' is a track that will serve as a real highlight in their forthcoming sets on the Alison Wonderland Scarehouse tour, and one that has us particularly excited for their forthcoming album next year.
