Nail on the Head – Duke Special

Belfast songwriter Duke Special unveils a luscious new electronic synth driven lead single from the upcoming 'Look Out Machines!' record due for release in April 2015.

‘Nail on the Head’ is the first single to be taken from the upcoming Duke Special record ‘Look Out Machines!’.

The record is set for release on 5th April 2015 and is available for preorder now. Based on this lead track, we’re looking forward to yet another shift in musical direction from Peter Wilson AKA Duke Special. Never one to rest on the success of previous records he has constantly explored with the collision of music and art form and with ‘Nail on the Head’ we see a diversion towards a more electronic, modern orchestral sound.

It’s a world away from the sparse, solo, gramophone cranking of that first ‘Lucky Me’ EP but after exploring the worlds of Berthold Brecht, Ivor Cutler and Hector Mann perhaps this is the most honest Duke Special sound yet.
