about

Sound Capture by Matt Verta-Ray and mixed with DUENDE! live off the board from tape at N.Y. HED in Manhattan January 31st-February 2nd, 2009. It was mastered by Dave Feeny at Tempermill Studios in Ferndale, MI. The vinyl was produced at Archer Record Pressing in Detroit, MI.

Tracks 11 - 22 are from the band's performance at Lakeside Lounge in Manhattan on 1/31/9, right after their first day (of three) in the studio. One band. One hour set. 11PM - Midnight. Pass the hat, and free beer all night.

"Somewhere between Detroit and Phoenix, between the soul and outer space, between the city and the desert, exists the exploded, non-linear, wobbly and wild psychedelic world of Duende — a cross of roots Americana, hard-driving blues rock, and psychedelic-folk (both of the swooning, lava-lamp Brit-pop variety and of the coarse/haunting noise-experimentation variety). Flavorful and blunt, Remnant of a Remnant is the local quartet’s second full-length and certainly their most crisp (in sound) and palatable (in recording); singer/guitarist Jeff Howitt’s yowls and blurts boom right up front over Laura Willem’s hollow pounding rhythms (both find a nice balance of that gruff and tumbly garage style mixed with a freewheeling jazz sensibility); meanwhile bassist Jason Worden brings in a darker groove, a bit smokier and growling, and the fervent noodling of Joel McCune pivot and spiral upward, with pedal jitters and psychedelic howls sliding into bristling hard-rocking riffage. It may take a few listens to get acclimated to what Duende’s laying down — though thick with modesty and charisma, they’re still unapologetically avant-garde in their noisy, ramshackle charge, asking the listener to dig on the twangy vibe right alongside the moan of a theremin." - REAL DETROIT WEEKLY August 25, 2009
