Peking Duk return with a vengeance with the release of their epic new project, Reprisal.
Reprisal is a body of work consisting of two new tracks, Fire and Distant Arizona feat. Cloud Control, accompanied by an incredible cinematic video directed and produced by one of Peking Duk’s best mates, Ryan Sauer. The video for Reprisal encapsulates the recurring theme of vengeance and retribution with thrilling influences from Spaghetti Westerns and Tarantino films, as well as cameos from friends and fellow musicians, with Jack Thompson narrating.
Fire glorifies the satisfaction of revenge against a partner who shows continuous displays of power and degradation. Protraying a woman’s perspective, ‘Fire’ implies that something – potentially a passionate reprisal – is coming. The track also features vocals by buzz-heavy Australian songwriter Sarah Aarons who wrote the smashes The Middle by Zedd and Stay by Alessia Cara.
Distant Arizona is the tale of a cowboy who awakens to discover his partner has left and stolen his possessions. He embarks on a passionate mission for revenge. Featuring the talented Alister Wright of Cloud Control, Distant Arizona was written and recorded in Mumbai at YRF studios, and also features one Bollywood’s great sitar players, Ravi Chary.
Reprisal arrives as Peking Duk continue The Waste Tour across their home country of Australia, with sold-out shows in Brisbane, Sydney and Perth. Their fully live show has received critical acclaim as they continue their biggest Australian tour to date. Their North American tour begins in June and circles around the continent (dates below).
Peking Duk have reached 180 million streams globally to date. With a 2017 ARIA Award for ‘Song Of The Year’ under their belt and their most recent single Wasted now ARIA Gold accredited with over 10 million streams already worldwide, this is just the beginning for Peking Duk’s Adam Hyde and Reuben Styles.
