The Frenetic Cool of Duchamp-Killer’s “BDA – Domestic affairs” is Like the Soundtrack to a Noir Set in a Bustling City

There is an undercurrent of menace and unease in Duchamp-Killer’s song “BDA – Domestic affairs.” The trumpet sample that runs through with the fragmented and off-kilter piano loop and the piano figure near the beginning that goes off of any standard melody with the start and stop percussion all while a spectral drone resonates underneath identifies this as a jazz song in the expanded sense of that genre. Like an experimental, samples based jazz song that could serve as the opening sequence soundtrack to a gritty modern noir. Though highly detailed and packed with musical elements the song has a cool vibe that would suit an Ed Brubaker graphic novel set in a busy metropolis rather than the sleepy settings and quiet, dark underbelly environs that are usual for him.
