Refs - Night Low (Single)

Having recently returned with their stunning first single in two years, New Religion, Berlin/NYC based duo Refs (Dessauer and Rich) continue to step towards the release of their debut album with new single, Night Low.  Showcasing the gorgeously crafted production of Dessauer and spellbinding vocals of Rich, Night Low is another welcome offering. Speaking on the track, they state: Dark and gloomy as the title suggests, "Night Low" matches dreamy bit-crushed guitars with confessional fireside lyrics and a string section. As the album opener and second single, Night Low's looming ambience and percussive curation sets the stage for tragedy to unfold.

In April of 2020, separated by 3000 miles, vocalist Rich and producer Dessauer went into self-isolation. Physically, of course -- like the rest of us. But also musically.

Turning inwards, Rich scoured Dessauer's instrumental vault for the most menacing, introverted and brooding soundscapes -- and proceeded to write 12 songs in 12 days. 2 years later, Rich and Dessauer come together again as Refs, to offer their debut album New Religion.

Dealing with themes of suspense, mania, dread, sex and self reflection, the album is a dense and dark dive into the depths of the collective subconscious.

New Religion will be released this year alongside a 2022 piece generative art collection, visually depicting humanity's most pressing question. Where do we go from here?
