Dukes Of The Orient Are Set To Release Their Album ‘Freakshow’

Formed in 2017 by English vocalist/guitarist John Payne and American keyboard player Erik Norlander, Dukes Of The Orient are set to release their eagerly anticipated album, ‘Freakshow’ via Frontiers Records, 7th August 2020.

”Working on this album has been a very cathartic experience” states Payne, before adding “The addition of Alex Garcia [guitar] and Frank Klepacki [drums] was a positive move for a more signature, cohesive sound.”

Adds Norlander: “‘Freakshow’ is much more focused both in concept and in sound as it was written and recorded in a single year with a tight group of musicians. ‘Freakshow’ has the cohesiveness of vision where the same five musicians performed all the material that was written expressly for this album. I also think our writing on this album is more focused for the same reasons. After working together for so many years, I can write a vocal melody for John, he can write a keyboard part for me, and the parts just work right out of the gate.”
