    Hey!

    The Duke Spirit website is now moving - with sound!!

    Looks like some sneak peaks of the album sound maybe - and it sounds very very good to my ears - 'accomplished' is a word that springs to mind; melancholy.....

    Not sure about that - no idea! But if you look at their twitter site you will see today came the words '...almost there...' !!

    I'm hoping we will hear news of a new single release very shortly - or maybe even a few new songs from the album!

    DUKE SPIRIT NEWS

    New Duke Spirit album early 2011!!

    Time for a duke spirit round-up......!!

    A lot has been happening in the past few weeks: the duke spirit website was updated with the tantalising words 'NEW SONGS COMING SOON' and today came the awesome confirmation that the new duke spirit album is finished, and will be released early 2011!!

    Liela Moss and the Duke Spirit helped launch the latest Adidas Y-3 fashion range in New York in September, joining the esteemed roll-call of musical ambassadors and exponents of the deep adidas 'street', 'style' and ''music' connection.

    IMG_8220%20copy.jpg

    Meanwhile; there has been much buzz and excitement over the internet airwaves about the dukes' next and latest moves, and growing curiosity about the new album. Many are positive that the Duke Spirit will prove the best band of 2011; their new album promises to set the year alight! A duke spirit tour would really cap things off now!! - headlining, or supporting another major band (like the Rolling Stones!!?!).

    I have heard that the new album may be 'dirtier' and darker that the exemplary 'Neptune' (2008) - if this is possible. What I think is so great about the Duke Spirit (and Neptune in particular) is the way Liela Moss uses her voice ~ electrified by the incandescent guitar work – to evoke both joy and foreboding in qual measure..... Many of the always superb lyrics are able to induce both inspiration and trepidation!

    The new album could be even greater than Neptune, and if it is – expect to seek out Leila Moss's intricate vocal nuances – at once husky and smouldering, childlike and awestruck, sassy yet innocent, sexy, pure and defiled in one breath – and always guaranteed to create an urgent sense of disquiet, of twisted hope, transcendence – which is obviously something that Eddie Vedder is also a past master of.

    SO! over the coming weeks, months and year, us duke spirit fans should be listening out for a scintillating new album, a tour, and one of the best bands of the era – the Duke Spirit – setting 2011 alight!!

    Great news....!!

    :D

        Just got this e-mail from The Duke Spirit mailing list...

        THE DUKE SPIRIT - They've been away for a while. Now they are back!

        The band toured a stupid amount over the last two years, then got home and got their heads together.

        After being declared medically fit, they got back to business. The third album...

        Now it's all starting again, and they are proud to announce that the first track back, "Everybody's Under Your Spell", will be available to download for FREE from their website this FRIDAY.
        WOO HOO

        New videos, live documentary footage and photographs to devour throughout October.

        There is an EP on its way too, along with the announcement of some live shows, and the album will be available in the new year.



        Thanks to you all on this here mailing list...you are the first to know, and that's because you are superior beings. Yes indeed

        Great new piece here!

        ....a real Bethnal Green Bruiser of a record, with a pretty kind heart if you treat it right.

        [BSR Note: Bethnal Green is a kinda gritty East London neighbourhood]!!!


        http://backstagerider.com/2010/10/07/du ... udio-pics/



        ......

        It’s been a while since TDS have graced us with new music (Neptune – with stonking track “Lassoo” – came out in 2008) but I’ve been hearing whispers that the band have been working on new stuff this past year. So I tracked Luke Ford down in London to find out.

        So, what the hell have you been up to in the last six months?

        Luke Ford: Making a record between various parts of London (North and South) , Brighton, The Cotswolds, Los Angeles and Wales.

        How IS the recording going? Or, what stage are you at?

        We’ve completely finished.

        What’s the new stuff sounding like?

        Like a real Bethnal Green Bruiser of a record, with a pretty kind heart if you treat it right.

        [BSR Note: Bethnal Green is a kinda gritty East London neighbourhood.]


        If Wikipedia is to be believed, what could possibly be good about recording in “The West Country”?

        Great cider, great cheese and great cheese rolling contests, what more could one ask for?

        When are we gonna get to physically hold a new Duke Spirit “compact disc” in our hands? Because I’m itchy.

        A mighty fine New Ep is on it’s way imminently – so keep ‘em peeled. You’ll be able to hear new songs on our website in and over the next few weeks.


        What bands out there are currently turning you and the others on?

        Joe Gideon & The Shark, Black Angels, She Keeps Bees, First Aid Kit, Grinderman, Archie Bronson Outfit, Black Keys…

        You’ve been out on tour with a bazillion frankly-quite-awesome-bands. Highlights?

        Simple – Dave Catching. He is the highlight.

        [BSR Note: Dave Catching is the Eagles of Death Metal's guitarist and amazingly kind and wonderful dude.]

        …although we did some shows with Duran Duran once in some skewed turn of events and I must say they still have some fine highlights on their barnets.

        Best Englishman abroad story?

        Lawrence Of Arabia

        Tell me something secret about Eagles of Death Metal or Queens of the Stone Age? Josh Homme wants me, right?

        Of course he does….In fact, all those guys do. There were many nights out on tour when I’d overhear any one of those boys mumbling your name under their breath in quite a disturbing manner.

        Does Olly The Kid still look like this? I found a video of him on YouTube:

        Yes, although I’d say his hair has grown a little since that was filmed.

        Which is your favourite guitar and why? Feel free to geek out.

        My 1964 Framus Strato Deluxe because it looks weird as fuck, It sounds cool as fuck, it seems to have a Foot stock rather than a headstock and my bandmates hate it because it seems to follow its own path when it comes to staying in tune. All great reasons to love an instrument.

        Is Liela still ridiculously hot? And what products does she use to make herself that way? Because I want to buy some.

        Damn right. A combination of Hai Karate, Woods Old Navy Rum and a little Sriracha sauce applied to both sets of cheeks morning and night will get you there, I believe. \m/

        New music from The Duke Spirit will be sneaking its way onto their site http://www.thedukespirit.com shortly. Bookmark it. Then go see ‘em next time they’re in your hood. And say hello from me.

        Duke Spirit - Everybody's under your Spell

        This song is immense!! a crackling sizzling whirlpool of a tune! heavy, catchy; great hooks great vocals - great sound! Bodes really well for the new album I think - the opening riffs, the production - like it A LOT!! I can't remember when I was last this excited before loading up a new release, and it doesn't let me down...... encore!! What a gem of a free download.

        What I like most about this single is they seem to have brought the same power and energy they always bring to the fast rockers to a more smouldering song - and it's a heavier sound that seems to work really well. Très très bien!

        I was going to hold off posting until I saw what others thought of it.... have dominated this thread a bit too much of late. :oops: Have listened a few times now though and couldn't restrain myself! Bravo Duke Spirit
