Duchess Says...The '80s Are Literally Never Going Away on "I Repeat Myself"

Also, the song was inspired by the cult '80s classic, "Fright Night."

Lately, we've been blessed to hear the best parts of '80s music—hello,

Stranger Things

soundtrack? So it's nice to hear that revival popping up, purely, in brand new music. Hyped up keys and defiant drums perfectly capture the essence of the '80s on Montreal (by way of Quebec City) band

Slovenly/Bonsound. It's their first in almost five years. Lead singer Annie-Claude Deschene's powerful vocals are reminiscent of synth punk queen,

The band says this new song is inspired by a particularly mesmerizing scene in the 1985 classic

Fright Night

.

Though they classifies their genre as moog rock, there is still a very present hectic punk vibe woven through the glittery keyboard chaos on "I Repeat Myself." Based on the sound of this single, the band says we can expect "t

hat all songs on the album had been verified, refuted, and validated to ensure that they don’t repeat themselves." Duchess Says live performances are elaborate and exuberant. But, mysterious as ever, the band says we can expect of their fall tour of this record to feature some "new visuals, synchronized video backdrops, a new band member, and scientific rituals with religious pie charts." Whatever those pie charts are, they sound pretty neat.
