Whilst holding onto the faint hope of an Indian reprise, one is tempted to observe the title and muse, “ain’t it just”: this latest offering from The Duke, Detroit is a rather on point soundtrack to the current drift from light to shade.

The Duke, Detroit takeContinue reading “The Duke, Detroit – ‘Accelerate’ [Deaf by Stereo]”
