This is your official introduction to a new band called 14th.

Hailing from the heart of London Town, singer Tracey Duodu and producer Tom Barber are creating new vibes in the shape of their musical outfit 14th. Inspired by a wealth of varying influences their ambition is to create art unique to them. By combining the different elements that make them ‘them’, they’re able to piece together songs that avoid instant categorisation. Electronic-Pop, Avant Garde Soul, Funky Dub – who knows. What I do know though is that their new single ‘Hide Yourself’ is as aurally pleasing as it is sonically interesting.

Duodu’s haunting, quirky vocals dance perfectly around Barber’s style-clash production, I definitely love the varying structure, 2step influence and crescendo at the end, with those sped BV’s in the back.
