"Silhouettes" is a song written by the Scottish experimental rock group Marmaduke Duke, released as the third and final single from their second album, Duke Pandemonium (2009). It was released as a single on 6 July 2009, and debuted at number 31 on the UK Physical Singles Chart.

Release

The single release of "Silhouettes" was a remix version by Jacknife Lee.[1] This version was first played by Zane Lowe on BBC Radio One in May 2009 with a preview being added to the bands Myspace page soon after.[2] A music video has been released which was set to continue the story of the Duke as shown in videos for previous singles 'Kid Gloves' and 'Rubber Lover'.[3]

Commercially, "Silhouettes" failed to replicate the success experienced by the bands previous two singles – "Kid Gloves" and "Rubber Lover", but did debut at number 31 on the UK Physical Singles Chart, remaining on the chart for two weeks.[4]
