Ducks Ltd. have released a new single, ‘When You’re Outside’, which was recorded during the sessions behind the band’s latest album Harm’s Way. Produced by Dave Vettriano, the track features harmonies from Ratboys’ Julia Steiner and Moontype’s Margaret McCarthy. Listen to it below.
“This was one we wrote pretty early in the process for Harm’s Way, which was a period when a lot of country-leaning ideas were working their way into our arrangements,” singer/guitarist Tom McGreevy explained in a statement. “I’d demoed the harmonies in the chorus (badly), and when we were working on backing vocals with Julia and Margaret they immediately understood what we were trying to do and really elevated it. The song didn’t end up quite fitting in the sequence for the album, but it does a couple things we’ve never done before in a Ducks song so I’m glad we’re finding a way to put it out. It’s about trying to support someone who is making that difficult to do. Unconditional love in a sense. Or at least love with limited conditions.”
