Never Really Gone

Never Really Gone is the sixth studio by alternative pop duo Indigo Peak. It is their first studio release since 2011's 'Hunter/Prey' and the first to be released on the duos own label IPR.

Background
In a December 2020 interview with Fault Magazine, member Andre Cassenove stated that whilst they'd been on a ten year hiatus, they had continued to produce material, which was cited as the inspiration for the albums title. 'Cocaine', one of the last tracks to be added to the album was selected as the first single release. It is was reported to have been the track that influenced the overall sound of the LP. 'Cocaine' was well received by critics with NME calling it "a more mature look at the Indigo Peak creative process." A further track 'Stockwell', was offered as an instant grat track to all who pre-ordered online formats of the single. 'Stockwell' showcased a more vulnerable side to the duos standard fare and is said to have been inspired by member and writer Yannik's first encounter with popstar Justyce. During their Intimate and Live online gig in December 2020, Indigo Peak debuted album cut 'Good Enough', which was well received by fans and critics. This track was reported to have been inspired by Yannik's divorce with popstar Jake in 2012. Following the gig, 'Good Enough' was released to streaming platforms as a promotional single.

In a press release dated January 4th 2021, Semble Management announced that Indigo Peak would release the album on February 5th of that year alongside the single 'Never Really Gone'. It was revealed that the album would contain 12 tracks including collaborations with Emily Henning, Jack Stevens, Shell Ruin, Justyce and Lena Moskalyova of Neoncity. It was hinted on January 5th 2021 by producer Andre Cassenove that Alesha had added vocals to a track on the LP.

Sonically, the album is influenced by the rave culture of the early to mid 1990's. The LP incorporates elements of Dance, EDM and Electronica.
