    Absolutely no idea what the Duke Spirit policy is in regards to live show taping and sharing MP3s. If someone tells me they don't like it then I will 'remove myself' !!

    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


    What do people think?? Me: A1 - full steam ahead.....

    The Duke Spirit set to premiere brand new song during NY and LA Shows

    Source: http://www.bloginity.com/blog/2010/10/1 ... z12nTcMrUY

    The Duke Spirit will be premiering brand new songs during select shows in New York and LA in the coming weeks. The rock band, fronted by the fierce and enigmatic front-woman Liela Moss, is crossing the Atlantic for select appearances. The Duke Spirit are scheduled to co-headline the KCRW Halloween Masquerade Costume Ball on October 30 in LA before heading cross country for a special performance at Santos Party House in NYC on November 3.

    These shows will be fans first opportunity to hear the London quintet’s bold new material before a free three-track EP, entitled Kusama, is released exclusively via iTunes on December 7. Kusama will be available across all digital platforms on December 21 and the full length album is due for release in February 2011 on Shangri-La Music. Download new song “Everybody’s Under Your Spell” via http://www.thedukespirit.com now!

    Known for commanding not only the attention of the music community but the fashion world as well, The Duke Spirit will also play at a private event for Levi’s on November 4. The band was most recently in NYC during Spring Fashion Week, where they played at the Y-3 Adidas show. Designer Philip Lim has cited Leila Moss as his “modern muse” and the late Alexander McQueen was so enchanted by Moss and her style that she served as the inspiration for McQ for Target, his 2009 fashion line for the retail outlet.

    The Duke Spirit’s forthcoming 2011 album will be the first release since 2008’s Neptune (Shangri-La Music) which garnered the band critical praise and brought the band into millions of living rooms across America with TV performances on The Late Show with David Letterman, Late Night with Conan O’Brien, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Jimmy Kimmel Live and Last Call with Carson Daly. The Los Angeles Times has said of their live shows, “The British quintet plays ragged soul-punk with an absolute firecracker of a lead singer,” and SPIN called their music, “Fully loaded Jesus and Mary Chain-fried fuzz.” Moss’s commanding stage presence is truly unmatched; her all but swaggering demeanor, striking looks and heart wrenching (and heartfelt) voice leaves crowds in the palm of her hand.

    US Dates in Full:

    October 30, 2010 Los Angeles, CA @ Park Plaza – KCRW Halloween show
    November 3, 2010 New York, NY @ Santos Party House
    November 4, 2010 New York, NY @ LEVI’s event (invitation only)

    Everybody's Under Your Spell illustrates why the radiant, sublime (and smart) Liela Moss even has the skeletons in her closet rocking out!

    No problem! The more Duke Spirit the better!

    Yes, I'm sure we'll have no shortage of duke spirit shows to choose from in 2011 - on both sides of the Atlantic! I can't wait, and I'm going to make sure I don't miss them this time. I particularly like the way the resplendent and majestic Liela Moss knows how to shake her tambourine as well as her butt. So I'm looking forward to the shows!

    What are your favourite Duke Spirit songs Dave?

    Well The Step & The Walk is the song that got me into them so that is definitely one of them (probably my fav). I don't have their first album like I mentioned before, just a few songs off of it I DL. Others I like :

    - This Ship Was Built To Last
    - You Really Wake Up The Love In Me
    - Lassoo
    - My Sunken Treasure
    - Dark Is Light Enough
    - Bottom Of The Sea

    and their latest single :)

    I'll tell you two songs I have gotten into recently, though I didn't particularly notice them before - 'Hello to the Floor' and 'Do what you Love' - both of these show different sides to the exalted and merciful Liela Moss's vocal and lyrical delivery. I think a lot more people would like 'Do what you love' if they heard it - great melodies --really memorable song once you listen a few times.

    Everybody's Under Your Spell is featured in the NME's top tracks to listen to this week. Here's what they say:

    5. The Duke Spirit - 'Everybody’s Under Your Spell'
    These cult heroes return with a glossy fur coat slung over the shoulders of their dirty blues-rock. Leila Moss’ rasp has a new smoothness, and with the band thundering beneath it, The Duke Spirit suddenly sound more confident and glamorous than ever before.

    When they say Leila Moss’ rasp has a new smoothness to it, surely they mean The Leila Moss' rasp has a new smoothness to it!

    Where did you hear this? I think I saw something about this on a website, but I think this has already happened - a few years ago - so I thought the website was out of date.

    No - I think you are right - looks like the Duke Spirit will be supporting Black Rebel Motorcycle Club for their UK shows in December 2010. Kewl. May still be tickets. Will have a look. My friend like BRMC....

    Loads to take in over at the brand newly refurbished http://www.thedukespirit.com

    Very very cool place. Especially great is, hidden away in the 'media>discography' section, songs from all across their back catalogue to stream in full, and at great quality. Think I'm going to have a root around there for some of the more obscure stuff later on.

    Yeah, everybody's under your spell is the more typical heavier rockier sound I guess. Nortbound seems quite a departure into the pure gorgeous pop tune - reminded me in parts of Bjork and the Cardigans a bit maybe. Albeit with the added brilliance of Liela Moss's most moving, wistful singing, which I can't have enough of. I imagine it will win some new fans and alienate some other fans. I'm wondering if we will get a diverse set of songs on the new album - looks like they have been developing away from the safe Neptune mode. I'm liking Northbound a lot though!
