Davey Lane's new single, intriguingly titled "Davey Lane's Duo-Monophonic Explorations Vol. 1", is his first in a line of releases for 2015, and a conceptual world first.

The double A-side single contains I'll Set U Free, a collaboration with King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard singer Stu Mackenzie, and The First Flung One To Crash, teaming up with Lane's You Am I bandmate Tim Rogers.

Contained within each track of this digital and limited-edition vinyl release, are 3 completely different versions of each song. Listened to in stereo, you hear the collaborative efforts of Lane and his esteemed guests. But with the balance panned to the left, a solo Davey Lane version of the song is revealed, and in turn, panned to the right, you hear Rogers' or Mackenzie's, both in mono (hence "Duo-Monophonic"). Completely independent from each other instrumentally and vocally, yet a cohesive match when played together - a world first in this form.

Davey says - "I've been sitting on this idea for a while, and as time passed and I thought I'd best hop to it before somebody else thinks of it and nabs it for themselves. If I'm gonna have guests on my records, it can't be for the gratuitous sake of having someone more popular or handsome making me look good - it's gotta be something super special. This concept provided me the perfect vehicle to collaborate with something a bit experimental and unique. Tim and Stu are both masters in their fields and sonic adventurers in their own unique ways, so I was stoked that they were both up for giving this a crack, not knowing if it was gonna work or be a complete and utter disaster. I'm proud to say that after much head-scratching and finger-crossing it came up a treat."

And does Volume 1 mean there are more to come? "It was so much fun I thought I may as well leave it open-ended. Hopefully there might be some more folks keen on doing more of these with me sometime. Who knows eh? I've already started rifling through the Rolodex in any case."
