London duo pecq release new single ‘stronger’ and announce an extended version of their recent red moon, rare night EP featuring new remixes courtesy of PVA, LVRA, Wyldest and BAILE – along with further new versions and reinterpretations.

New single ‘stronger’ is a three minute blast of bouncy indie dance, pointing to influence from Jamie xx, Kaytranada, Charli xcx and Caribou. A tale of resilience and self-empowerment, disguised as a thunderous break-up anthem, pecq find inspiration elsewhere within unpredictable sonic oddities such as “a broken shower fan in a venue that sounded like a dub siren”, “vocals echoing in a Berlin sewer” and “the crackly texture of a bunch of ants attacking a mic”.

Speaking more on the release of their new single, vocalist Jakes said: “‘stronger’ is a break up song with a twist – on the surface about independence from a person but actually starting as a mantra to my own body. I live with a bunch of immune conditions and when I’m down about being super sick I do this silly, sassy pep talk, hyping myself up to fight my body. The lyrics are all the opposite to how it feels but the more I repeat that I’m stronger than this, the more I eventually feel it.”
