New Entry: Allegories Air New Single "Always True"

Hamilton, ON electronic-pop duo Allegories (comprised of Adam Bentley and Jordan Mitchell) have aired their new single "Always True".

The song is taken from their forthcoming sophomore album 'Endless', their first album in 14 years, set for release on April 29 through Hidden Pony Records. Get it here.

"Always True" feels like the dark part at the end of the night. The wrong side of 5am. A dark warehouse bouncing to ominous synth pads and 909s. "Always True" has a sudden surge of energy, a second wind, one more dance while the night wears off. The song is built on a simple refrain, with slight variations, in both lyrics and performance. These changes alter the true meaning of the song, obscuring the narrator's intentions, and the arrangements shadow those shifts.

New Entry: Allegories Release New Single "Constant"

Hamilton, ON electronic-pop duo Allegories (comprised of Adam Bentley and Jordan Mitchell) have released their new single "Constant".

The song is taken from their forthcoming sophomore album 'Endless', their first album in 14 years, set for release on April 29 through Hidden Pony Records. Get it here.

"Constant," a vocally led steadily, pulsating piece of indie electronic music, is what the duo call a "timid diss track to oneself and all that you love." Revolving around its refrain yet constantly exploring new vocal modulations and synth tones, "Constant" wants to be that endorphin rush, that effervescent dopamine surge surrounding you.

Condensing several decades of synth-pop classics – from New Order's "Temptation" to The Knife's "Heartbeats" – into three-and-a-half minutes of bliss, the opening "Constant" wraps its loving arms around you like a molly-addled finance bro having a spiritual epiphany in the muddy fields of Glastonbury.
