Toronto-based Ducks Ltd. today shared their new single “Grim Symmetry” via Carpark Records. Recorded during the sessions for their critically acclaimed album Harm’s Way, the bright, propulsive track was produced by Dave Vettriano (Dehd, Deeper, Lala Lala) and features backing vocals from Julia Steiner (Ratboys) and Margaret McCarthy (Moontype).

“This is actually one of our older songs,” explains guitarist/vocalist Tom McGreevy. “We wrote it early on in the ‘Modern Fiction’ writing process, and the demo was a favorite among the people we shared those with, but we didn't quite get it right when we tried to record it for that album. We always liked it though, so we kept it around and tried it again when we were tracking ‘Harm's Way.’ It didn't end up quite fitting the vibe of the album, but we did manage to get it to where we wanted it to be, so it's exciting to finally share it.”

The song arrives on the heels of the band’s second KEXP live and debut Audiotree sessions, listen to it below:
