All hail Leila Moss and The Duke Spirit....
This album reminds me that while Los Angeles is in the middle of our folk music revival other cities are looking at music a bit differently. Enter the stunningly beautiful and equally talented Leila Moss who fronts this aesthetically pleasing post-grunge band as they channel influences ranging from The Velvet Underground to Sonic Youth to Blondie. Tracks like "The Step and the Walk" and "My Sunken Treasure" bring to mind smoky cellar clubs and leather clad Lou Reed lookalikes while "Lassoo" and "Neptunes Call" reveals the brilliant production of Chris Goss (Queens of the Stone Age). Their new album Neptune was written as they toured America in 2006, musically created in London and then finally recorded in the nothingness of Joshua Tree...
Looks like it's London calling and they want their musical supremacy back...
