http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.21800213&rws=%2Fthe-dutchess-and-the-duke%2Ftop-tracks.rssJesse Lortz and Kimberly Morrison first met as high-schoolers in the suburbs of south Seattle, sharing a deep fascination for weird DIY music. Fast-forward a decade during which Lortz became a garage-rock bold-face-name (leading the Flying Dutchmen and Fe Fi Fo Fums, among others), and Morrison a multi-instrumentalist gun for soul-stomp/surf-twang hire. Yet the only thing left over from Kimberly and Jesse's shared history on their folk-rock turn as the Dutchess & the Duke is a deep sense of mutual understanding, more akin to cool siblings than to a couple (which they are not). Their lo-fi '08 debut revels in a post-Dylan, mid-'60s darkness, where smart words, acoustic guitars and harmony vocals invoke the sounds of the Stones, Leonard Cohen and <i>Velvet Underground & Nico</i>, and negative experiences are transformative, leading to catchy songs that peep the light at the end of the tunnel. In this, the D & the D are less traditionalists recreating an old vibe than revivalists informing that vibe with an ultra-modern pathos (especially in the lyrics and two-part harmonies) and an enormous amount of heart, whose beat is marked only by a tambourine. - Piotr OrlovFolk Revivalen720Thu, 26 Nov 2009 13:55:37 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.21800213&rws=%2Fthe-dutchess-and-the-duke%2Ftop-tracks.rss Jesse Lortz and Kimberly Morrison first met as high-schoolers in the suburbs of south Seattle, sharing a deep fascination for weird DIY music.
