The You Beneath

Lucky Man

Lucky Man (2018 demo)

April 14, 2024. Two years ago today, I moved from the UK to Japan - from my aunt's ground floor flat in Watford to a 19th floor apartment in Tokyo. Eat Shiitake Now is the story of my journey here. Thank you for listening. If the music moves you, please share it with your friends and family.

All songs are presented chronologically, in the order they were written. From Bristol green, to Watford grey, to Tokyo blue. I recorded the album alone over 18 months in bedrooms at various elevations. There were times I didn't have the energy to sing complete takes. The album is dedicated to my Aunt Elisa. Thank you, loved ones, for helping me find my breath again.

The Laundry Song

CELEBRAO feiert die Dunkelheit und das Licht.
Mit überraschenden Kompositionen und wildem Stimmenfeuer,
lädt das Konzert zu einer sinnlichen Erfahrung ein.
Inspiriert vom Ursprung des Theaters - dem Ritual -
führt CELEBRAO hinab in die Tiefe,
dahin wo es glüht, lebt, wogt und still wird.
Dies ohne Worte, jedoch mit umso mehr Klängen und Bildern.

CELEBRAO verschenkt sich -
als musikalische und visuelle Kostbarkeit.
Sinnlich und überraschend.

Mi primer álbum, Monumento es una carta de presentación en si, una recopilación de canciones compuestas en pandemia, ordenadas en torno a la idea de construir ladrillo a ladrillo un monumento personal.

Duncan’s music has aired on broadcasters such as Triple J and RTR FM as well as the US College radio network. He has supported international heavy weights such as Kodaline, Australian favourites like Lime Cordiale and Alex The Astronaut and appeared on festival line-ups such as Falls Festival (Fremantle) and a sold-out Nannup Music Festival. 

Upon his return home from the UK due to COVID19 in 2020, he released ‘Squirrel’ which was an exclusively premiered on Triple J and backed by a WA Tour with Michael Dunstan. The single remained in the Triple J Unearthed charts for over 3 months!
