Too cool to cut loose? Not Spencer Ludwig and Ryan Merchant, the duo [pictured at center and right above as part of Capital Cities] who recently released the first song of their side project, HISTORY. The song is titled “History,” co-produced by André Anjos (whom you know as RAC). And it’s an outsized anthem that combines old and new schools, with a big groove, stuttery samples and Ludwig’s bodacious brass. The duo shares vocals here, observing “I can see that your pretension has stolen your dimension” and implying that those who go for it will reap the rewards: “Will you go down in history for nothing? Not me.” Sound the trumpets.
