This song started with a bass riff and grew from there. One of us had been listening to some medieval music at the time .. something might have flowed through.

Better Than You

The Duchesses create dark yet beautiful melodies, often surging into intricate and aggressive harmony.

With resonating guitars, bold rhythms and dynamic vocals, The unique sound of The Duchesses lies somewhere between post-rock, shoegaze, and noise-rock.

Their Debut LP captures their layered, atmospheric and yet melodic sound that has a few surprising twists and turns. Not satisfied with a verse/chorus structure, the songs offer something a little different for the listener. It has been remarked that The Duchesses' music takes on an almost "Journey-like quality". Each song offers a rich sonic landscape that can traverse both the ethereal and the angular.
