about

Recorded and Mixed by Dave Feeny with DUENDE! at Tempermill Studios in Ferndale MI in a single session on Feb. 1st 2010 during a snowstorm. These were the last recordings to feature Jason "Bludgie" Worden whose final performance with the band was the records release on June 2nd 2010.

"Possibly Duende's most realized compositions yet collected — these songs are staggeringly well dressed with a delicious and chilling atmosphere, from wheezing organs to piano chimes and juke joint guitar clangs. "Way In Is Out" feels like a one-two punchy hoedown march. Their Hank Williams interpretation, "Alone and Cruel," is the record's jewel, rousing a spooky nocturnal waltz. The album is full of quavering vocals, drums and bass guitar topped off with a breezy accordion (from its engineer, Dave Feeney) and plodding piano (from Dutch Pink's Dustin Leslie). Way In Way Out's lyrics weigh as heady as Buddhist philosophy, from implications of fortune telling to the lonely spirits of Detroit, all shambled down into "Boss Radio's" freewheeling "big boom boom thump." Those dizzying guitars and minimalist hollow drums of "Boss" pair nicely with the spook-church sanctity of the furling organs. While the bass bends and booms with restraint on those blues shufflers it still manages to explode for supplemental garage rocky/girl-group backbeats ("Stop and Think it Over"). Not only that but the vocals are touched by the bravado of late-'60s rockers that freely lean into more sing-speak spells, flush with a spurring theatricality." REAL DETROIT WEEKLY July 7th 2010

Tracks 7 - 11 are from the band's performance at The Magic Bag in Ferndale, MI when they opened for Blanche. The live recordings also feature Scott Sanford on bass and electric guitar. Sanford's first public performance was with the band was on July 7th 2010 during the band's residency at Club Bart's in Ferndale MI and officially on July 16th opening for Jon Spencer Blues Explosion at the Crofoot Ballroom in Pontiac, MI.
