Reprisal is the second extended play by Australian electronic music duo Peking Duk, featuring two tracks: "Fire" and "Distant Arizona".[1] The EP was released on 18 May 2018[2] and has peaked at number 12 on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart. "Fire" includes uncredited vocals from Melbourne songwriter Sarah Aarons,[3] and was released to radio on 11 May 2018. Sales of "Fire" counted towards the EP's chart placement.
Inspired by spaghetti westerns and Quentin Tarantino, and by director-producer Ryan Sauer, the two songs combine to form "Reprisal"; a tale of vengeance and retribution.[4]
Reception
auspOp said: "'Fire' is undoubtedly the most commercial of the two and is primed for commercial radio airplay", adding "'Distant Arizona' is a slightly grittier electronic piece, with Alister from Cloud Control providing the vocals." The website also called the project "seriously impressive".[5]
