London quintet The Duke Spirit will release its third studio album on Shangri-La Music in the Spring of 2011.

The forthcoming album entitled, Bruiser will be a bit of a departure for the band, who describes it as “a conscious effort to strip down the fuzz and create space in which the drums, guitar and bass have their own sonic place, allowing frontwoman Liela Moss’ stunning vocals to rise to the forefront.”


Tracklisting:

1. Cherry Tree
2. Everybody’s Under Your Spell
3. Villain
4. Don’t Wait
5. Surrender
6. Running Fire
7. De Lux
8. Procession

12. Homecoming
