DUKE GARWOOD returns with a magical new album, Rogues Gospel, out on 25 November 2022 via God Unknown Records.
‘Heavy Motor’ is the first taste of the album, where Garwood’s soft growl accompanies delicate tremolo guitar echoing throughout the track.Recorded in the summer of 2020 whilst the world was in flux, the album is drenched with a feeling of freedom as Garwood and drummer Paul May sheltered from the world outside. It was, Garwood explains, “a heat soaked fever dream of our soul nectar in sonic form”. Recalling the past, gathering the elements from the present, the two artists – whose knowledge of one another’s playing is apparent throughout – work together with exquisite tones and percussive detail in this intimate recording.
Garwood expands, “In the deep summer heat wave of ‘20, when everything was closed and people were hiding, I hit the road West to join my brother in music in his place, bungalow magic.
We knew we had to play – for our souls, for the soul of humanity, to bring down the machine and tyranny, to invite the angels in, to save ourselves from insanity.
Play we did, the guitars detuned until bee’s wings would make the strings sing.
We began with the drum, and the things that shake and rattle, the drones of the heat, we sweated and we worked it until the night calmed us.
This is not a lock down album, for we were free in our spirits when this was created, free from any desires to conquer and fill our pockets with the booty of success.”
