Rogues Gospel, the new album from London based multi-instrumentalist Duke Garwood, is out tomorrow through God Unknown Records. Garwood got together with Paul May to record the album in the summer of 2020, when the world was mostly shut down. He comments:

“We knew we had to play – for our souls, for the soul of humanity, to bring down the machine and tyranny, to invite the angels in, to save ourselves from insanity. Play we did, the guitars detuned until bee’s wings would make the strings sing. We began with the drum, and the things that shake and rattle, the drones of the heat, we sweated and we worked it until the night calmed us.

This is not a lock down album, for we were free in our spirits when this was created, free from any desires to conquer and fill our pockets with the booty of success.”

Ahead of the album release tomorrow, Garwood has shared a new single titled ‘Return to Splendour’. It comes with an accompanying video, watch it now.
