Killed The Duke Of Earl [2005 Version]

from Darklife Anthology by death's dynamic shroud

NUWRLD Mixtape Club exclusive

lyrics

"Another song from one of my early unreleased albums, the lyrics are about waking up in a depressed cloud before I even know how to really articulate the feeling." - Keith

"This was another early Keith song, from another album he made in 2005. Was always one of my faves, so I was eager to resurrect it and make a new version. I love Keith’s vocals on this, and the sound of that piano being slightly out of tune is haunting. In preparation for Darklife, I re-recorded the piano and sang the vocals but wasn’t sure what to do about the bossa nova-esque middle section. I remember texting Keith about it and he was like “just fucking get rid of it” lol. So that part of the song was abandoned in favor of a couple different ideas we tried out before settling on the final version." - Tech

"Tech and I listened to Keith's pre-Giant Claw albums obsessively back in the 00s. I have to give Tech credit for having the idea to resurrect a lot of these songs for Darklife, even if some didn't make the final cut; they are such an important part of our personal history. Hearing the originals (especially the ones with Keith's out-of-tune upright piano) instantly teleports me to those times." - James
