REPRISAL is a body of work consisting of two new tracks, ‘Fire’ and ‘Distant Arizona’ feat. Cloud Control, accompanied by an incredible cinematic video directed and produced by one of Peking Duk’s best mates, Ryan Sauer.
The video for REPRISAL encapsulates the recurring theme of vengeance and retribution with thrilling influences from Spaghetti Westerns and Tarantino films, as well as cameos from friends and fellow musicians, with Jack Thompson narrating.
‘Fire’ glorifies the satisfaction of revenge against a partner who shows continuous displays of power and degradation. Portraying a woman’s perspective, ‘Fire’ implies that something – potentially a passionate reprisal – is coming.
‘Distant Arizona’ is the tale of a cowboy who awakens to discover his partner has left and stolen his possessions. He embarks on a passionate mission for revenge. Featuring the talented Alister Wright of Cloud Control, ‘Distant Arizona’ was written and recorded in Mumbai at YRF studios, and also features one Bollywood’s great sitar players, Ravi Chary.
REPRISAL arrives as Peking Duk announce their 9-stop European tour, with dates throughout September 2018 in Dublin, Amsterdam, Berlin, Paris and more.
