Details
[Edit]Singer/songwriter William Duke has a vocal delivery and timbre very much like Elvis Costello's on his self-released CD William Duke Presents...The Ghost That Would Not Be. Duke, however, is a little more power pop inclined in his material than Costello, and certainly works on a more modest production scale. That's not to say that this the production is inadequate; in fact, it's pretty good, only that it has an intimate feel that's both less robust and gentler. The tunes are a little wistful and quirky, sometimes crossing over into sadness, the quirkiness heightened by sound effects between some of the tunes. Mellotron-like tones give this more of a slight British psychedelic throwback feel than what Costello does with his songs, as well, sometimes with a slightly nostalgic haunted aura. Despite the obscurity into which any self-released CD threatens to fall, it's likable and well-packaged, and would likely appeal to as many or more indie pop fans as many far more high-profile albums.
