The Dutchess and the Duke

Sunset/Sunrise
The Dutchess and the Duke’s debut album She’s the Dutchess, He’s the Duke was one of my personal favourites of 2008, and it made its way into several end of year lists on various international blogs. It’s now time for a new single from Kimberly Morrison and Jesse Lortz, plus details on their second album which will be released on October 6 via Hardly Art.
The song is called ‘Hands’ and it pretty much delivers more of the same from the Seattle couple; that being a harmony of boy/girl vocals, blues guitars, organ, tambourine and a minimal drum set up. However where their last album had a scratchy recording quality, this new album, titled Sunset/Sunrise will sound a bit different. On the Hardly Art website the band announce, “This record was written for the studio. The record was written for Greg Ashley to record.” And while it’s hard to tell from the first single whether Ashley’s added anything drastically different, the grainy quality of the first record has definitely been ironed out.
