The UK duo now ready up their new single <em>Close Your Eyes<\/em>, which is out via London based Gearbox Records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The duo began to record again in 2020, inspired by the unexpected free-time bonanza of Lockdown 1 and and, in Rob\u2019s case, a 90-day free trial of Logic. First single <em>In The Garden<\/em> was released in March 2021 on their own Faroe Recordings label. This was followed by <em>The Last Retention<\/em> &#8211; with a Deep Space Ambience remix by soundtrack guru Thomas Ragsdale, the piano-driven <em>Overheard<\/em> and a remix of <em>In The Garden<\/em> by spectral post-rock masters epic45. 18 months later, those releases have clocked up well over a million streams between them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In late 2021 Ronnie &amp; Clyde began talking to Gearbox Records about the album they were preparing, a record that would become &#8216;Nettlebed Skyline&#8217;. which came out in February 2023. Originally inspired by post-rock, jungle, dub, golden-era hip hop and their crate-digging adventures in the super-cheap bins of west London charity shop basements, the intervening years have found the duo further shaped by home-made New Age, French and Italian library music, sombre English folk, Swedish and Norwegian jazz and a peculiarly strong love for the 60s and 70s pop of South Korean label, Jigu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carrying a deep impression of impeccable breakbeats, diced piano hooks and whispering vocals that reverberate throughout a sombre and thought-provoking arrangement, the new single <em>Close Your Eyes <\/em>shows what Ronnie &amp; Clyde are all about &#8211; masterfully crafted electronica with a nod to their roots from the nineties. The track arrives as the first part of two releases with another single set to come next month. A duo that are constantly evolving, the new material shows a continuing thirst for discovery and explorative songwriting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listen to <em>Close Your Eyes<\/em> via YouTube below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/w_2KwXJUgpw?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-CA&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Ronnie &amp; Clyde &#8211; John Ross and Rob Fitzpatrick &#8211; have been making electronic music since 1995, recording for beloved imprints including &#8211; Swim, The <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=40112\" title=\"Ronnie &#038; Clyde share new single\u00a0&#8216;Close Your Eyes&#8217;\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":40113,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[13,23,28,30,1907],"tags":[11549,11551,11550],"class_list":["post-40112","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-electronic-music","category-indie","category-music","category-new-release","category-news","tag-close-your-eyes","tag-gearbox-records","tag-ronnie-clyde"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/RonnieClydeNettlebedSkylineA-9900000000079e3c.jpg?fit=900%2C600","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2B2TV-aqY","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":1022,"url":"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=1022","url_meta":{"origin":40112,"position":0},"title":"New release: YACHT &#8211; Dystopia Remixes","author":"cultureaddicts","date":"October 11, 2011","format":false,"excerpt":"YACHT describes their track Dystopia (The Earth is on Fire) as a \u201cpost-apocalyptic fight song\u201d and a \u201ccautionary tale.\u201d The track\u2019s chant-along melodies and unsparing synths move listeners closer to dance than despair.
