Seattle turbowave duo, DUAL ANALOG return with ‘Pale Visage,’ a new single and video that signals the dawn of their next era. With the video directed by Skye Wardenm, the clip and song explore transformation and self-recognition through a stark yet ultimately empowering lens.

“It wasn’t really a self-correction so much as it was a survival tactic,” says Chip Roberts of DUAL ANALOG. “We wanted the liberty to explore the expansive soundscapes that make us who we are.”

Reintroducing the world percussion, cinematic guitars, and progressive flourishes that defined DUAL ANALOG’s early sound, "Pale Visage" bridges bleak beauty with renewed color – both visually and sonically. It marks yet another glimpse of the band’s forthcoming 2026 album, Primal Grill, and is a bold declaration that all are welcome in the Temple of DUAL ANALOG.

From the rain-soaked streets of Seattle’s Chinatown, DUAL ANALOG channels desire and distortion into a singular force—turbowave—a fusion of new wave, metal, industrial, and world rhythms. Formed in 2019 by vocalist-guitarist Chip Roberts and multi-instrumentalist Kurtis Skinner, the duo blends sleek futurism with raw emotion, crafting immersive performances where sound and atmosphere collide. Each ritual is a sensory experience—sweat, light, and pulse converging in devotion to rhythm and release. Their 2022 debut, Lust, Worship, and Desire unveiled a lush yet crushing sound—sexy, anthemic, and unapologetically heavy. 2024’s The Wheel descended into colder textures and brooding tones, anchored by extended-range guitars and nihilistic lyricism. Now shaping their third album, Primal Grill, DUAL ANALOG expands the boundaries of turbowave through a series of singles—’Kontrol’, ‘Sacred Sin’, ‘Save Me’, and the latest one, ‘Pale Visage’—each revealing a new facet of the band’s evolution between the sacred and the primal.

DUAL ANALOG, the dynamic duo known for their evocative soundscapes and poignant lyrics, is back with their latest single, ‘Caverns of the Mind.’ This compelling track delves deep into the human psyche, exploring themes of nostalgia, regret, and the search for redemption.

‘Caverns of the Mind’ is a reflective journey that contrasts the triumphs of the past with the disillusionment of the present. The lyrics profoundly capture the essence of feeling forgotten and despised, even by those who once held you in high regard. The protagonist is trapped in a psychological labyrinth, tormented by the question of where it all went wrong.

As the song unfolds, listeners are drawn into a story of hope and despair. There is a glimmer of salvation, but it lies in the hands of someone who remains indifferent. The powerful narrative is matched by DUAL ANALOG’s signature sound—a blend of haunting melodies and atmospheric instrumentation that perfectly complements the song’s emotional depth.

"We wanted to create something that resonates with anyone who has ever felt lost or betrayed by their own memories,” said Chip Roberts, vocalist of DUAL ANALOG. “’Caverns of the Mind’ is about confronting those feelings and the realization that sometimes the only way out of the darkness is through the help of someone who may not be willing to give it.”

Seattle’s ‘turbowave’ pioneers, DUAL ANALOG just unveiled their new single, ‘Slave’. The song challenges perceptions and takes listeners on a journey through the complexities of desire and intimacy.

At first glance, "Slave" may seem to explore themes of S&M, but as with all things DUAL ANALOG, there’s more than meets the eye. The lyrics, cloaked in provocative imagery, actually delve into the realm of dissatisfaction and disappointment in sexual encounters, turning the traditional narrative on its head.

“We wanted to play with perceptions of sex and challenge our audience to think beyond the surface,” says vocalist Chip Roberts. “The S&M angle is like a lure, drawing listeners in, but once they dive deeper, they’ll discover the true essence of the song.”

With its pulsating beats, hypnotic melodies, and raw, emotive vocals, ‘Slave’ captures the essence of frustration and longing, painting a vivid picture of the complexities of human relationships. As with their previous releases, DUAL ANALOG delivers a sonic experience that transcends genres, blending elements of post-industrial, Neue Deutsche Härte, and aggrotech to create a sound that is uniquely their own.
