Audiobooks announce debut album while getting weird and warped on new track "Mother Hen"

Evangeline Ling and David Wrench are Audiobooks, a fun and trippy duo who are pushing the boundaries with their visionary sound.

"Mother Hen" is Audiobooks' opening track from their forthcoming debut album, and sees the duo indulge in a hypnotic, yet jarring blend of instrumentals and vocals that'll leave your head spinning.

Speaking about the track, the duo explains, "We wrote and recorded this on the 2nd day we hung out. Evangeline was so excited to do more work that she travelled across London in her Batman pyjamas so as not to waste any time.”

The London-based pair use their instruments and voices to conjure up a cauldron of bizarre sounds that somehow compliment eachother in a weird and wonderful way.

Audiobooks are magical, and provide an unexpected collaboration that presents a unique, and refreshing take on merging modern music genres.

Ling explains, “I'd found myself writing these odd stories as text messages on my phone. They were too short to be proper stories… they were fragments. I’d told David about them when we met and he said, “’Come into the studio and let’s put them to music.’” The next day, we started making music.”

Wrench adds, “Neither of us are any good at small talk so we just got working and it was crazily fast, everything about it. We’ve never spent more than an hour on a track.”

Their new single follows on from "Hot Salt", which arrived in June.
