LET'S GET
LOW

It’s not until we see the whole picture that we can begin to find our place in it.
Written at home on his narrowboat, Duotone’s new album ‘Let’s Get Low’ shows a songwriter who’s unafraid of exploring ‘real life' experiences that are often hidden from view. While both his debut ‘Work Harder & One Day You’ll Find Her’ and the critically acclaimed second LP ‘Ropes’ both saw Morse-Brown writing his way through the loss of his wife in 2009, Duotone’s latest offering sees Morse-Brown finding a foothold on his journey..

Recorded and produced by Richard Evans (Peter Gabriel/Birdy) ‘Let’s Get Low’ features a stellar line up of guest musicians including Ged Lynch (Black Grape) on Drums, David Rhodes (Peter Gabriel / Kate Bush)on Electric guitar and long time collaborator Jane Griffiths on Violin.
