25. The Dutchess & The Duke

25. The Dutchess & The Duke-
Sunset/Sunrise

The Dutchess and the Duke are Kimberly Morrison and Jesse Lortz. Together they perform these raw, melancholy, dark songs that remind me of 60's Brit-pop, full of minor chords and romantically morose lyrics. This was one of my favorite finds of the year and made me wonder why I hadn't been listening to them more. I love this style of music and this first song off their new LP 'Hands' is everything I could hope for in a boy/girl duo. I love the way her voice trails off behind his. I love the guitar work. Check out this video of a stripped down acoustic version of the song, then download it below.
