"f_Z.6WMY 'S"F=)*- From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
intf%T5# Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
nKdLhCN'= selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
Q1z04m1_y[ `Z-`-IL I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
j$6}r cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
z{\.3G more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
2B7&Ll\> Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
)Yml'?V" Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
o6 /?WR 9 Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
F*f)Dv$p music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
]_s]Q_+E methods.
)T?ryp3ev KXJHb{? Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
k&b>-QP6 can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
}kpkHq"`f foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
&^.'g{\Y listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
8T4J^6 course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
PJ{.jWwD dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
RulI
zv never undermines the content.
(yfTkBy 4%TC2Laii Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
}wVrmDh \ appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
!T*izMX} Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
9!LAAE` Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
jJ|;Nwm<[ to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
w8qI7/ by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
cc[w%jlA# Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
yWzTHW`)Mr E_K7.c4M So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
gA6C(##0 a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
>EY
0-B found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
)-(NL!?` a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
o0 Ae*Y0 (that'll be the title track, then).
