'S"F=)*- {QID @ From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
nKdLhCN'= Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
"L]_NST selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
`Z-`-IL }^muAr I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
z{\.3G cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
2B7&Ll\> more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
)Yml'?V" Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
o6 /?WR 9 Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
Cmj)CJ- Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
]_s]Q_+E music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
sXu]k#I^" methods.
KXJHb{? k&b>-QP6 Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
}kpkHq"`f can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
&^.'g{\Y foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
8T4J^6 listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
PJ{.jWwD course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
RulI
zv dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
(yfTkBy never undermines the content.

WV Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
!T*izMX} appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
9=|5-?^ Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
jJ|;Nwm<[ Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
w8qI7/ to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
,v"A}g0" by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
yWzTHW`)Mr Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
E_K7.c4M gA6C(##0 So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
5S1m&s5k a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
}1V&(#H2 found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
|($pXVLH` a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
+-hmITJv (that'll be the title track, then).
