Dutchess And The Duke

You’d think that after a while, the combination of cardigan-sporting white people playing guitars and singing careful pop melodies would get tired. It’s easy to get frustrated with the mediocrity inherent in bands such as Spoon, and yearn for new music to innovate and to stop trying to be the 60s. But boys and girls, a reason for renewed enthusiasm in pop music always manages to come around the corner, and there is little doubt that Kimberly Morrison and Jesse Lortz of The Dutchess & The Duke bring a special pop sensibility to the table.
