dull. (by name but not by nature) is a dynamic noise duo based in Lancaster, UK, who relish in contrast and contradiction.Comprising vocalist and drummer Joel Maudsley alongside guitar and electronics wizard Raymond Jennings, the band manages to create a huge, compelling sound with just two people, a single guitar, and a stripped-back drum kit.Their music features intense screamy vocals and sprechgesang-style crooning paired with poetic, thoughtful lyrics.Thick, fuzzy guitar riffs are woven into minimal, electronica-inspired arrangements, drawing heavy influence from acts like Gilla Band, Protomartyr, Factory Floor, and Scott Walker.Having bonded over a shared love for immediacy and minimalism, they translate this raw energy into intense live shows.The band made a massive splash with their scorching debut single "Spilling," released via Cracked Ankles Records, uncompromisingly setting out their stall with minimal overdubbing and raw, one-take vocals.
