When I posted up two tracks, "Vanishing Shadows" & "Welcome to It" by Liela Moss in the S-EXY New Faces set, friend Jonder reminded me that Liela had been vocalist (& more) in The Duke Spirit. I was mildly surprised that she sounded quite different from the rocking style my mind associated with The Duke Spirit. Being only a casual TDS listener, I hadn't recognized the name.
Jonder also mentioned that Duke Spirit guitarist (& more) Toby Butler could be found working under the moniker IYEARA. Thanks, Jonder.
Looked around for some IYEARA tracks & really enjoyed what I found. Here's some of what I stumbled across in my quest.
Various - In I YEAR An I Day, NØ Comp., 2023.
Exhale - IYEARA
Magenta - The Duke Spirit

Lost Highway - LUSTS
A&E - The Ting Tings

(all tracks remixed by IYEARA)
While digging around for those tracks I came across this gem. Mark Lanegan Band - Another Knock at the Door (IYEARA remixes of Somebody’s Knocking). Music is a lesser place without Mark. Although I was not always on board for all his musical ventures, his voice was soulful, dark, full of melancholy, divine. This album is a winner in my book. A great addition to Mark Lanegan's legacy.
Here IYEARA is guitarist Toby Butler, producer Malcolm Carson, & vocalist Paul O’Keeffe.
