‘Your Move’ is the first taster from Nottingham duo RATTLE’s forthcoming third album Encircle (coming early 2025, Upset The Rhythm), and sees the duo expand their unique experiments in rhythm, metre and tension.
‘Your Move’ is mesmeric and boundless, hypnotic in its minimalism of double-drums and the often wordless almost tribal vocals of RATTLE’s Katharine Eira Brown.
“The images in my head for the first half of ‘Your Move’ were water – reflecting in pools, and flowing” explains Katharine. “Then the second half is like it is stuck in an endless slow-moving cycle. The bit in-between is the flitting in-between, we wanted it to feel like a CD getting stuck. The words Your Move might be about moving in an embodied way or freedom / movement / expression, but they are also an emboldening call to action – it’s your turn – what are YOU going to do, what’s your next move? “
