The Dutchess and the Duke – Sunset/Sunrise

  • October 26, 2009

Sunset/Sunrise, the second album by The Dutchess and the Duke, carries much of the same sound as their 08 debut. Their songs are simple, 60’s style folk rock tunes with beautiful harmonizing and heartfelt, yet dark lyrics. The Seattle duo is best when they find that perfect balance of upbeat instrumentation and moody vocals. With this album, Jesse Lortz and Kimberly Morrison have broadened their sound with the help of producer Greg Ashley of the Gris Gris. Sunset/Sunrise sees the welcome addition of some more lush sounds with occasional strings, organ, and added percussion. – Written by DBosket
