Album Notes

Former Wheat guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Ricky Brennan has been playing on & off with childhood friends Derek Dutra & Brad Archer since, well, childhood. Duresse began to quietly take shape while Ricky was in between road trips with Wheat. Around 2004, after nine years , three albums & little sleep, he decided to branch off & give Duresse his full attention.

The band recorded their debut EP 'Elate' during the summer of 2005, and released it on their own that fall. The seven songs display a range of textures and moods reveal the band's love for dreamy shoegazer Britpop and lush layers of atmospheric swirling guitars, with a dash of good ol American rock and roll thrown in for good measure.

Duresse has been performing generally around Boston & NYC at venues such as the Middle East, TT the Bear's Place, Knitting Factory Tap Bar, Abbey Lounge, Great Scott's, Lizard Lounge, All Asia and the Alphabet Lounge.

REVIEWS

Solid, tight knit sound...a listenability for repeated play backs.
author: Jim Miles
I quickly found my favorites; Ghost Ship, If We Ever Get Out, Redwood and Relevant. This CD isn't overdone with guitar riffs, as they clearly have the talent to play, they could have; instead these guys let their quality arrangement and lyrics take control of the music. I'll look for more from them in the future.
