pecq releases energetic and defiant new single ‘Stronger’ ahead of extended EP
London-based duo pecq have released their new single ‘Stronger,’ a high-energy indie dance track that leads the way for an extended edition of their red moon, rare night EP, set to release on November 14th.
‘Stronger’ is a dynamic three-minute anthem, filled with bouncy beats and an eclectic mix of sounds. Drawing inspiration from artists like Jamie xx and Kaytranada, the song celebrates resilience and empowerment. Its upbeat vibe, however, disguises the underlying story of a break-up, reflecting pecq’s ability to combine introspective themes with infectious rhythms. Pecq also channels their creativity by incorporating unusual sonic elements such as “a broken shower fan in a venue” and “vocals echoing in a Berlin sewer.”
On the inspiration behind the song, vocalist Jakes shares:
“‘stronger’ is a breakup song with a twist – on the surface about independence from a person but actually starting as a mantra to my own body. I live with a bunch of immune conditions and when I’m down about being super sick I do this silly, sassy pep talk, hyping myself up to fight my body. The lyrics are all the opposite to how it feels but the more I repeat that I’m stronger than this, the more I eventually feel it.”
With this new single, pecq continues to push boundaries, preparing listeners for the upcoming extended EP, which will feature remixes and reinterpretations from artists like PVA and Wyldest.
