The Duke Spirit | Covered In Love EP
Tack this on to the growing list of music I missed last year. In December, our favorite noise rockers, The Duke Spirit, put out a covers EP titled Covered In Love via Velo. The four-track EP pays homage to music greats that passed away in 2006 and includes a droney take on Desmond Dekker’s “007 (Shanty Town),” Jessie Mae Hemphill’s “I’m So Glad,” and two songs by Love (Arthur Lee). Leila Moss’s achingly beautiful voice is the real highlight on these four songs.
Check out the cover of Love’s “Message To A Pretty” below and download the digital version of the EP at Rough Trade.

Duke Spirit – Great sound – heard 007 cover the other day – it is excellent.
