Q.g44> r#NR3_@9 From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
O |0V mm
Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
Ww
=ksggpB selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
juB /?'$~ %afz{a5 I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
FDTC?Ii O cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
+HEL ^ more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
K_-S`-eH Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
o"g<Vz Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
YbJB.;qK Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
@wh-.MD music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
4YA1~7R methods.
6JD~G\$ ,yTT,)@< Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
"cGjHy\j` can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
.F@ 2C
foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
.`^wRpa2M listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
6f&qtJQ<A course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
w5q'M dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
moE!~IroG never undermines the content.
ZQ[ s/ %
{A%SDh Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
VTn6@z_ x appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
O[R
Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
Cf3<;Mp< Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
@Wd1+Yky to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
,m;G:3}48 by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
EkEQFd 5g Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
9Nu:{_YoP w>&g' So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
:jGgX>GG a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
$%"~.L4 found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
EN)0b,ax a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
z_ L><}H (that'll be the title track, then).
