D
s From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
vtzbF1?O Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
3=0b selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
UY)Iu|~0b
:Z6l)R+V I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
}!WuJz" cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
(%fSJCBl[P more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
`0=j,54cx Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
N*KM6j Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
" "CNw-^t Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
u~Y+YzCxV music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
V9;IH<s: methods.
Vp8!-[R j k])S~xl? Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
ph3dm\U. can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
C2L=i3R foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
JycC\s+%E listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
3)l<'~"z< course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
o%h[o9i dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
FX
~pjM never undermines the content.
R?:(~ X\ 99[v/L>F Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
jtwe9 appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
4EhWK;ra
Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
iP?lP= M Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
b^<7@tY to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
C-(O*hK by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
xz}=C:s Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
%'9&Js
O tU-jtJ So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
A*W/Q<~I a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
*[b~2 found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
`t7GYmw^# a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
|W SvAM3 (that'll be the title track, then).
