We proudly present Duchess Leo’s first performance video, Bloom. Bloom is the second track on Golden Gray and appears here in live and extended form. The video was directed by the head dude hisself, Daniel Bellury. Golden Gray is out now on Whale Heart Records. Read an interview with the band on the Village Voice blog about the making of the song.

Bloom  is featured on Just Like Honey’s podcast this weekend along with Cut Copy and Bright Eyes. I had the pleasure of talking with Bertie a little bit about when he met Jeff Buckley. We hope to make it to London soon to meet him and play a show. Check out the podcast HERE!

“Bloom” - Duchess Leo

I stumbled upon this little gem of a track by New York’s Duchess Leo while making my daily rounds through my inbox. “Bloom” is the first taste we’ve heard from the duo’s LP Golden Gray. The track’s reverb-laden echoed guitar rhythms and almost violent drum beatings keep me interested all the way through. Golden Gray will be released on January 25th.
