East London electronic duo 0171 drop a new 'Photograph'

Words: Ellie Ward 

0171 came our way last month with the track 'Follow'. Now the East London two-piece release new single 'Photograph'.

Preceding upcoming EP 'Change Nothing', out August 14, the experimental electronic pop producers, Joe Bedell-Brill and Georgie Hoare, fuse together soaring string arrangements with jittering percussion and ghostly electronics, as they sing about empty nostalgia: "make me unsure and small / ghost of my memory".

“'Photograph' is inspired by looking at a photo of an ex," says Joe. "A photo that records a moment when everything seemed perfect, but now it’s a lie, and it makes you feel strange, like you can’t really remember who you were in that photo, when you loved that person. Like a life that never happened. We’ve all picked up old photos like that we find in our bedroom, that make you sit down and feel sad for a time that is lost, even if you don’t regret the relationship ending.

"I’m definitely someone who spends a lot of time thinking about my past, and the feelings that I’ll never get back. Georgie’s there in this song to tell me to get over it ffs.”
