澳洲电子舞曲二人组Peking Duk在成立近20年后正式发布首张录音室专辑《Paradise》[1]。该专辑包含14首曲目，邀请了Killer Mike、Matt Corby、Phantogram、Rico Nasty和Kah-Lo等多位艺人参与合作[1]。
成员Adam Hyde和Reuben Styles表示，长期以单曲模式运作已显得重复乏味，转向专辑制作让他们重新获得了创意自由[1]。Adam Hyde在评价当下音乐创作时指出："音乐和艺术、爱与恨都远非完美。渴望是体验中最关键的部分。如果失去了它，就杀死了一切。"[1] Reuben Styles则对AI在音乐中的应用表达了担忧，称"我无法相信澳洲电台排行榜第一名的歌曲用的是AI人声"[1]。
Peking Duk将于布里斯班10月17日、悉尼11月7日和墨尔本11月27日举办Paradise巡演[1]。此外，两位成员在个人项目上也有动作——Adam Hyde在洛杉矶录制了Keli Holiday项目2025年的歌曲《Dancing2》，而Reuben Styles则参与了Y.O.G.A.的乡村音乐项目[1]。
Australian electronic music duo Peking Duk have released their first studio album, Paradise, almost 20 years after the group's inception [1]. The project marks a significant shift for the Canberra-based act, which has predominantly operated through single releases throughout their career [1].
Members Adam Hyde and Reuben Styles attributed the decision to move toward album production to a desire for renewed creative freedom, as the single-focused approach had begun to feel repetitive [1]. Paradise comprises 14 tracks and features collaborations with prominent artists including Killer Mike, Matt Corby, Phantogram, Rico Nasty, and Kah-Lo [1]. The album will be supported by tour dates in Brisbane on October 17, Sydney on November 7, and Melbourne on November 27 [1].
Beyond their collaborative work, the duo members have pursued individual projects recently. Hyde recorded the 2025 song "Dancing2" for his personal project Keli Holiday in Los Angeles, while Styles contributed to Y.O.G.A.'s country music venture [1]. When discussing the rise of artificial intelligence in music production, Hyde stated that "music and art, love and hate, are far from perfect; desire is the most critical part of the experience, and losing it kills everything" [1]. Styles expressed concern about the trend, remarking that he "could not believe Australia's number-one radio chart song uses an AI voice" [1].
