8th Best Album of 2008, The Duke Spirit’s “Neptune”
The world has far too few coiled, strutting British bands with female singers and a chassis formed from the Jaguar Noel Gallagher bought when (What’s The Story) Morning Glory went triple platinum. Neptune is not as three dimensional as Cuts Across The Land, but it is a fine album indeed, filled with radio rockers like “Send A Little Love Token” and Anglo delicacies — no, we’re not talking about kippered herring — like “Wooden Heart.” Liela Moss may as well be Kate Moss on “The Step And The Walk,” the sexiest song of 2008, and the most infectious.
