NEWS: Cuff The Duke give fans another glimpse at stunning new album Morning Comes.
'Standing On The Edge' available for download below.
Cuff The Duke have made another track from their Paper Bag Records debut Morning Comes available for download. Album stand-out 'Standing On The Edge' can be downloaded here. The band is also excited to announce that they have extended their Canadian tour to include dates in Ottawa, Hamilton and two-night stands at Toronto's Horseshoe Tavern and Kingston's Grad Club (full list of dates below).
Also keep your eye on CBC Radio 2's blog for the exclusive premiere of Cuff The Duke's Paper Bag Sessions which will be rolling out one by one each Tuesday leading up to the October 4th release of the album. Watch for the first video for 'Count On Me' here. Check back for another video for 'Time Is Right' which will be premiered today at noon EST.
After almost ten years as a band and four albums to its credit, Cuff the Duke has made … a concept record. The Toronto roots rockers wouldn’t call it that (there are no suites about dragons here), but there it is, 10 tracks on a theme that flow like a film, like a good book, one filled with emotional highs and lows, plot twists, and universal truths. Morning Comes is a story about change, about confronting loss, about – as one track calls it -- 'Standing on the Edge' and having the courage to look across to an unknown future on the other side.
And if the record leaves you on a slight down-beat with the reflective closing track 'Letting Go', there is also much brightness on the horizon, as the band is already recording a companion sequel [title TBA] to explore life after loss.
"Where 'Letting Go' leaves off, with a person who has moved on, the next record is what comes after that." says the band's Wayne Petti. "It should be lyrically more upbeat, still questioning things, but more optimistic rather than sad and final. I always try to incorporate a sense of hope."
