Urkt release new single "Muted"

U.K. electronic duo Urkt have released their new single “Muted” today.

To coincide with the release of “Muted,” the duo have unveiled its remarkable music video, which was done by Jason Baker. When it comes to the song, Urkt said:

"Muted started life as a loop we were bouncing back and forth to each other. We then drunkenly reminisced about our lives as choir boys in our youth, listened to a load of Lotti and Gregorio Allegri and it set the vibe.

Lyrically, we dug into our memories of being choir boys as well, referencing the blind nature of following religion and the stubbornness of what you think or are taught - with some brazen references to travelling on the London Underground, the repetition of commuting and feeling out of place in an environment of stubborn thought.”

The track also comes equipped with a remix done by Sarahsson, which you can also hear below. Working with the producer was a must for the duo. Ukrt stated:

"We were so honoured that Sarahsson accepted remix duties for this one - we first heard them on the Snog radio show where we had our first ever radio play, and were both blown away by the depth, scale and bravery of their composition. It’s safe to say our jaws hit the floor when we both heard what they’d done."

“Muted” follows Urkt’s previous singles “Sour” and “Rich Now.” “Muted” is available for purchase/streaming here.
