the artist name is a psuedenym,his real name is Peter Wilson, an Irish singer-songwriter...
this is his/their second album release which was apparently nominated for a prestigious "irish music award" back in the day...!
wiki notes their style as alt-rock/pop,folk and jazz....
thet may be correct with his other works but for this one i hear a lot of dancehall,vaudevillian sounds,lots of piano based alt pop...much along the same lines
as Ben Folds,yeh,Ben Folds, thats the name ive been looking for as a comparison all week to describe this...
im no fan of Ben, but i like some of his material in small doses...same goes for The Duke here.
been trying to remember where i picked this one up and came to two possible conclusions...a recommendation from Corey or it was really cheap,like $2 in a discount bin at Corey's shop...
either way,its very average,not really my thing, so i wouldnt buy anything else of his/theirs!
