The track follows Cheap Dreams lead-single “Tampa.”

lead singer Josh Kolenik on “Duplex:”

“We finished writing & recording ‘Duplex’ way before the world shut down last March,” “but the lyrics seemed oddly prophetic to me as we were doing the final mix. ‘Walking in the house alone – Pray on the ottoman – Amen for one’ I was originally thinking about the absurdity of feeling alone amid the 9 million of us in NYC and yet suddenly, we were all isolated without much of a choice in the matter. In those weeks spent listening to the quiet out our Brooklyn windows, only broken by the occasional siren, unsure where the city or the world was headed, the song took on a new meaning.
