jv_sRV s|{K?s 专辑介绍:
$L`7(0U- p1Lx\ From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
^OA}#k
NTW Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
a`|/*{ selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
2'pxA: 7r}gS2d I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
KrbNo$0% cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
v3]q2*`G# more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
<F=j6U7
Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
9:=a FP Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
}.T$bj1B;V Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
8-SVgo( music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
=,0E3:X^ methods.
{s`1+6_&Vz |]m&LC Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
8^4X/n can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
nt5 ~"8 foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
(bT\HW%m listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
BtqJkdK!;1 course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
L)w& f dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
^|sQkufo never undermines the content.
FlkAo] 6,c,i;J_ Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
L50`,,WF appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
m&$H?yXW> Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
]X-ZRmB` Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
sJ0y3)PQ to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
2ag]p by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
c9'#G>&h~^ Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
cAiIbh>c $9l3DJ So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
=1esUO[nx a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
~ R* 6w($ found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
IC{>q3 a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
APLu?wy7s5 (that'll be the title track, then).
