The DK Effect Release Single ‘Don’t Take Too Long’

"The DK Effect Release Single ‘Don’t Take Too Long’"

Don’t Take Too Long is the story of someone coping with emotional issues using pharmaceutical solutions. They know it’s not a permanent fix and recognise the long-term cost, but can’t find, or don’t want to find an alternative. They’re happy to continue along the uncertain path for as long as fate and finance allows.

The second release from a suite of five recorded at Frying Pan Studio in the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA), Tasmania.  Call and response is a strong feature of this song which is a crowd favourite at gigs. The simple arrangement and contrast between verse and chorus allows room for the track to reach a satisfying crescendo.

The DK Effect are an original 9-piece soul, funk and RnB band known for their four powerhouse vocalists, rich storytelling, melodic harmonies, and the passionate, polyrhythmic ‘call and response’ vocal synchronicity inspired by gospel music.

Their debut album, ‘Moving Time’, showcased their diverse repertoire and was expertly mastered by Grammy Award-winning Dave Darlington in New York. The album spent two months in the TOP 10 of the Australian Blues and Roots Airplay Charts.

Writing and recording their second album was taking longer than they had hoped, so the decision was made to record some of their more established tracks at Frying Pan Studio in the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA), Tasmania.

The band has performed at numerous Tasmanian venues such as MONA (Museum of Old and New Art), Altar, The Moonah Arts Centre, Kickstart Arts, Salamanca Arts Centre, The Clarence Jazz Festival, The Playhouse Theatre, The Taste of Tasmania Festival, Rektango, the Uni Bar, Street Eats Franko, and the Republic Bar.

Recording at the iconic Frying Pan Studio was a unique and amazing experience for the band. The studio offers stunning views of Berriedale Bay and Kunanyi (Mount Wellington), creating a relaxing and inspiring environment. There is a viewing window into the studio, allowing museum visitors to watch and listen (via headphones) to the recording process. For the band, it was fun being an ‘exhibition / performance artist’ during the recording process – almost like a live recording.
