Congregation single & The Duke Spirit’s new EP

November 12th, 2007 by Travis Keller

I got two great slabs of music in the mail on Friday that Toby from The Duke Spirit sent me from across the pond the old fashion way via the post. I’ve been rockin’ em both all weekend in between The Faces “Five Guys Walk Into A Bar” boxset, Al Green’s “Get Next To You” and Ride’s “Best Of”. Anyways, back to the cool shit I got in the mail…

The first item I pulled outta the package was this new single from a London two piece known as Congregation who are on the Duke’s own label, Velo. “Don’t Pay No Mind” and the flip-side “Building A Wall Around My Heart” do not sound like they were recorded in 2007 and could easily pass for a dusty old 45′ that used to make your grandmama break out into the mash potato. You can stream both songs as well as two others from the band’s myspace page. I can already hear Congregation in the next Quentin Tarantino film. Speaking of, how fucking annoying is that Quentin Tarantino guy when he gets to talking? Dude, you’re movies are pretty rad… but when you talk it’s a total buzzkill. No one is into it. Have a xany-bar party bro.

You can order the Congregation single as a 7-inch record through Rough Trade if you’re into actually owning a physical item and that old fashion mail order shit. Or you can take the lazy piece of garbage route (like the lazy piece of garbage I know you are) and buy a digital file of it from Itunes by clicking HERE. Check out the video for “Don’t Pay No Mind”, it’s pretty boss.

The other record I received in the mail today was The Duke Spirit’s new EP “Ex-Voto”, which contains four brand new songs that were laid to tape hard-drive by Chris Goss (Queens Of The Stoneage/Goon Moon) at the Rancho de la Luna Studio out in the desert of Joshua Tree. Two of these songs are exclusive to this EP and the other two are a sneak peak at their second full length called “Neptune”. I can’t wait for that shit. In the meantime check out the Lassoo video (first song on the EP) and download an mp3 of “A Wild Hope” (third song on the EP). Enjoy kids.

New EP from The Duke Spirit

October 29th, 2007 by Travis Keller

cover.jpgThe Duke Spirit just released four new songs as the “Ex-Voto” EP. You can buy it as a 10 inch record, CDEP or a digital download. If you live in America it’s not available in stores or on Itunes. But fear not, cuz us Yankees can still get it through good old fashion mail-order! Click here to check out the E Card, where you can stream the tracks and order this fine overseas product. While you’re at it, hit The Duke Spirit myspace page @ myspace.com/thedukespirit, and check out their recent appearance on Henry Rollin’s show here.
