LW6ZAETyL XN=67f$Hw From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
}Db[ 4 Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
s8"8y`u selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
yF}OfK?0f _9 .(a I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
\W5O&G-C cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
} p
FQRSOZ more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
7w:ef0S Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
$,=6[T!z+e Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
!%+2Yifna Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
t.8 GT&p music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
P9Yy9_a|x methods.
/-_=nf}w /n~\\9#3 Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
:bV mgLgG can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
_
nA p6i foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
@bM2{Rh: listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
l&4,v course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
5Wyz=+?m| dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
[Aj Q#;#Q never undermines the content.
Ee)[\Qjn 1wzqGmjmt Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
v 8T$ &-HJ appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
0nn okN^ Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
x";w% Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
<DKS+R to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
{,*"3O:\:
by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
9TF f8'?d Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
$vHU$lZ/W 2LrJ>Mi So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
Fc~'TBf,,` a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
RZM"~ 0 found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
QM3,'?ekRH a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
;^*Unyt[4] (that'll be the title track, then).
