About This:
Exit Culture’s debut record, Duality, is an eclectic mix of twelve songs that vary wildly in style and sonic texture. While the album’s opening song “Catapult” introduces the band with an assault of pulsating rhythms and unapologetically complicated musical passages, other tracks such as “Echo at My Back” and “The Sweetest Thing” offer straight-up grooves and infectious hooks that recall late-seventies funk and R & B. From the middle-eastern inflections of “Vajra” to the melodious, U2-esque “The Small Hours,” Exit Culture’s Duality demonstrates just how much musical ground a drum-and-bass combo can cover. Moreover, the band’s concise song structures, attractive rhythms, and strong melodies make Duality a record that can be enjoyed either as an impressive debut from a pair of ambitious “rhythm players” or, more simply, as a collection of great songs.

Exit Culture plans to send the remainder of 2007 and all of 2008 promoting Duality, playing live as much (and in as many cities) as possible, and writing the band’s sophomore effort, which they plan to release in early 2009.
