Listening Post: Batch 554

With his new single, Heavy Heartbreak, Duke Keats proudly unveils the next chapter in his flourishing musical journey. Beautifully weaving sentiments of love, heartbreak, and youth over a burning bassline, a relentless beat and a wash of bubbling synths, Heavy Heartbreak effortlessly demonstrates the breadth of Connor Blundell's imagination and the world in which his Duke Keats alter-ego resides. Fusing his signature lo-fi sound with cinematic, electronic, vintage soul stylings, the track offers a glimpse into the forthcoming EP, Bornstar.


Co-produced with long-time collaborator, Mason Le Long, at his studio, Subwüf, in their hometown of Coventry, the Bornstar EP showcases Duke's unparalleled ability to seamlessly blend and reshape genres, crafting a sonic world uniquely his own. Le Long is also one half of the dreamy, disco-pop duo Batsch, who have also released music under the moniker, !nvisible Hand, such as 2021's Samphire, which featured Duke Keats. Now, with Bornstar, their first collaboration on a full EP, and the marriage of Blundell's idiosyncratic view of the world with Le Long's ear for detail, the partnership has really taken flight.


In 2023, Duke achieved remarkable milestones as a musician, producer, and director, gracing stages at renowned UK festivals like Godiva and Timber, supporting acclaimed artists like Ichiko Aoba and Moonwalks, and establishing connections with prominent promoters. As 2024 unfolds, so too does Blundell's raw talent and the evolution of the Duke Keats story. To witness it, through his creativity, craftsmanship, and captivating performances, is to embark on a voyage of self-discovery and get lost in a world where the colours are as bold the beats and the drama as infectious as the melodic hooks.

Baxie talks to singer/songwriter/poet Mariel Loveland from band Candy Hearts. Since 2009, Mariel has enjoyed a successful career in spite of facing the difficulties of an industry that often treats female artists with a shocking amount of discrimination and abusiveness.  In this interview Mariel talks about some of the treatment that she's faced (from both music industry insiders and from other artists).  She also talks about the backlash she faced when she chose to speak about it publicly. Thankfully, Mariel has endured and has just released her first solo album "Make Me Smile" under the name Best Ex--which is arguably the best record of her career! This is an amazing interview with a highly respected and fiercely talented artist. Just awesome!  Listen on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, Spotify, and on the Rock102 website.
