Debut album from this hotly-tipped Irish songwriter, who records romantic indie songs with a variety of household objects and instruments like cheese graters, wardrobe doors, pianos, harps, brass, strings and an old gramophone. Influences come from artists like Eliott Smith, The Magnetic Fields, Dresden Dolls, early Van Morrison, Vaudeville Theatre and Tom Waits. Needless to say, Duke isn't a performer easily pigeon-holed. 12 tracks featuring the single 'Last Night I Nearly Died'. V2. 2006.
