Dust & The Dukes’ journey starts from the single Run, while sand rises in a storm and the darkness envelops the sunset’s tongues of fire.
Released on September 20, 2019, available as limited vinyl 7″ and on all digital platforms with Audioglobe’s distribution, Run is a song with animal power, born from a jam session that, thanks to the live dimension, has developed to its final form. The sounds are a mix between an obsessively tribal rhythm and pure rock and roll, starting from the Rolling Stones to get to the shadows of artists like Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. Not forgetting desert rock fervency and Delta blues sources.
Electricity and sweat: Run realizes the primordial instinct of the Florentine trio, formed in 2016 and just a year later winner of the 29th edition of the Controradio Rock Contest, the most important Italian competition for indie musicians. The voice of the Italian-American Gabriel Stanza, also on the trumpet, is supported by the wall of sound guaranteed by Enrico Giannini’s guitar and by Alessio Giusti’s drums.
“Lyrics represent a race in which it’s not important the arrival but the act of movement itself. It’s a physical act of pulsing blood and tense muscles, just like ‘living music’. The horse, when it runs, does not know if it’s in the open space of a prairie or in a path established by man: it just runs! This is Run‘s message”.
On the B-side of the vinyl there is a different version of Shoot Me Down, a song originally contained in the homonymous self-released EP of 2017: “There is a contrast between the A-side and the B-side, as between dark and light, body and soul, wild impulse and introspection”. In a parallel way to an intense live activity, Run is the first extract from the debut album of Dust & The Dukes, coming in 2020 and produced by Andrea Ciacchini at SAM Studio (Blonde Redhead, The Zen Circus). Let the ride begin.
