Seattle's garage folk due
The Dutchess & the Duke claim they wrote their upcoming record,
Sunset/Sunrise, with local psych pro
Greg Ashley specifically in mind. Ashley produced the follow up to the pair's acclaimed debut,
She's the Dutchess, He's the Duke--a raw, honest soundtrack to boozing, brawling, and bawling your way through failed attempts at love.
The first single off
Sunset/Sunrise, "
Hands," shows how much Jesse Lortz and Kimberly Morrison can do with such a minimalist setup. An acoustic and electric guitar, a tambourine clap, and vocal harmonies that are both sweet and forlorn drive home this beautiful, melancholy ballad of a lost man at stumbling through the sunset of his life and of his connection with a woman in love with another man.
Sunset/Sunrise hits stores Oct. 6.
