Alan Duggan Borges, producer and guitarist of Gilla Band, has announced his brand new project, The Null Club.

The Null Club, features the likes of Faris Badwan of The Horrors, Valentine Caulfield of Mandy, Indiana, and ELUCID of Armand Hammer. Accompanying the announcement of the self-titled EP is the project's debut single "Slip Angle" with Valentine Caulfield on vocals.

"I first saw Mandy, Indiana in Manchester at the psych fest in 2021," he explains of the collaboration. "We managed to say hello, and from there I reached out to Val to see if she would be interested in working on the track. Thankfully she was into it. I sent her on the instrumental and she came back with rough vocals using the mic from headphones for phones. We re-recorded the vocals in her home in Manchester in 2021 surrounded by her cats, but actually kept some of the headphone takes in the track."

The EP will be released on a limited run of 500 12” white label records, each hand stamped by Alan and released independently on a label ran by his wife and himself. The EP was mixed by Daniel Fox (Gilla Band), and mastered by Jamie Hyland (M(h)aol). with vocals contributed by the artists.

Alan Duggan Borges will perform a string of solo shows throughout May, including dates in Dublin, London, Bristol, and Manchester.

Tracklist:

  1. Frameshift (feat ELUCID)
  2. 14 Hours (feat Faris Badwan, The Horrors)
  3. Slip Angle (feat Valentine Caulfield, Mandy, Indiana)

The Null Club will be released on 4 April, and is available to pre-order now.
