The song then veers into an exhilarating drop marked by a rough, rhythmic arpeggiator, keeping the listeners captivated.
Serving as the final appetizer before the grand unveiling of their eagerly awaited album, Duality, set for a June 16th, 2023 release, this single holds a special place in TWO LANES’ discography. The duo has previously whetted their fans’ appetites with a string of singles and live performances, leaving them yearning for the complete Duality experience. TWO LANES has successfully carved a niche within the realm of electronic music, a testament to its unique artistry, as evidenced by their 2 million monthly listeners on Spotify. Having gained recognition and support from industry and fans alike, including support from BBC1, Sirius XM, and Triple J, and embarking on multiple extensive tours, it’s clear why they’ve risen to such prominence. “Movement” signifies the duo’s stride toward a pivotal album release that is set to catapult the TWO LANES’ phenomenon to new heights of creativity and fame.
Speaking about “Movement”, TWO LANES shared, “This track is a staple in our live performances and has been featured numerous times throughout our past year’s tour. It holds a special place for us due to the opportunities for impromptu moments it offers, where we can manipulate synth voices and effects on the spot. These ‘open’, spacious segments transition into a dynamic drop with a gritty arpeggiator. The track showcases a different sound spectrum on the album, leaning towards a more club-oriented vibe. Importantly, it is the final single leading up to our debut album release.”
