Read full article on Scotsman.com in association with AIM (Association of Independent Music) Damn Dirty Duke Artist of the Week in Scotland On Sunday 22 September 2019:Two years ago Colette Dryburgh and Detroit Law got together to create an art installation using synths and props against a backdrop of self-shot film footage. However, it wasn’t long before the noises developed into fully-fledged songs and director Paris Seawell was enlisted to shoot a series of videos.So was born Damn Dirty Duke self-described as a ‘360 degree art project’ incorporating Dryburgh’s talents as a costume designer for films and Law’s day job as a stylist. Musically they are a combination of dark electronic sounds, spoken word and vocals which sound like the angry daughter born of Shirley Manson and The The’s Matt Johnson.Their new EP Multi Muscle Disciplinary was released on Friday 13 and is inspired by Scottish sculptor Eduardo Paolozzi’s concept of Mechanomorphism and is accompanied by a video for the song Concrete.
