Review This coming of age is due to hard graft, spending much of last year working the circuit in the USA, and perhaps their growth as writers has also had something to do with the wide open surroundings of the Rancho de la Luna in Joshua Tree, with stoner rock Godfather Chris Goss at the controls. Travel, in this case, really has broadened the mind, resulting in something far more panoramic than their debut.
This is an album simply dripping with the kind of confidence that comes from knowing you've delivered the goods. The Step and The Walk, all brooding bass and chrome-retro pop, packs a pout for sure but has substance as well. Inevitably singer Liela Moss will soak up much of the press attention that they undoubtedly deserve. However, it'd be a mistake to underestimate or overlook the twin-guitar bite provided by Luke Ford and Dan Higgins on tracks such as Into The Fold. It may be under two and a half minutes but they know when to keep their powder dry and when to let it blast. Ditto the bluesy-glamed-up slice and dice on This Ship Was Built To Last. We've heard a lot of blink-and-you-miss-it indie power pop before but The Duke Spirit deliver a brass-laced sucker punch that'll have you holding your jaw, wondering what hit you long after the record has finished. --Sid Smith
