S4Vv _k-&
ku}I;k | From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
l6Q75i)eF Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
#GHLF selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
:+>:>$ao
S*1Km& I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
NCM&6<_ cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
:Gz# 4k more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
r?= 7#/] Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
ly]n2RK Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
~|~j01# Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
/M "E5 music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
'
{:Yg3K methods.
k99ANW !*gTC1bvB Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
e
r;3TG~ can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
88ydAx#P foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
^L<*ggw listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
6uijxia course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
5Y8/ZW~D0 dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
R]Q4+ never undermines the content.

s1B uvrfR?%QK Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
[af<FQ { appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
emV@kN. Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
NX(.Lw} Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
#?z1cgCg to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
SdfrLdi}Y by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
]{[VTjC7rY Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.

# So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
O$%C(n( a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
x6ig,N~AO found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
~4mgYzOmD` a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
.#;;pu7W (that'll be the title track, then).
