Hi,
here is the thread for all new and cool grand duchy news/discussion.
This is Violet and FB/BF's new project together.
The rules are that if you're talking about one of the songs and can't share... that you do your best to give a detailed description so people know what you're talking about.
and as the coffee lady says... discuss...

I really don't like Grand Duchy. Should I make a different thread?
 Please pardon me, for these my wrongs. |

| Perhaps we need different threads for each camp's speculative description of Grand Duchy music. This one is Grand Duchy rocks! Another could be "Grandy is so mellow". Floop could moderate the "Grand Duchy is a 21st century techno Dylan band". And of course we need a thread about how we're guessing that the producer ruined the album. Other suggestions? |

I know Grand Duchy personally and the producer is not responsible at this time for ruining the album.

If I were to have heard "Fort Wayne" by Grand Duchy -- which I'm not saying I have -- I'd probably say how much I think Violet sounds like Kim Deal, except much sweeter. And I might say I'm really excited about this collaboration. Also, I might wonder if anybody else hears that noise of a plane or a car going by several times. If I'd listened to this song about a hundred times, I might not have noticed that sound the first 50 times.
Please pardon me, for these my wrongs. |

You dont have a lot of fun here, isnt it ?
Hey why not all these threads you re saying?
The more it s specific and nerd, the more fun it is, as long it is about the music and not Lyle Workman's shoes. |

There is a slight similarity...when you finally hear it, think the "ah ah ah's" in Velouria. We will wade in the tides of the summer part.

I couldn't imagine Kim Deal sing French so sensually. But there are similarities.
I think Linda Mallari kinda sounds the same as Kim Deal too.

If I were to have Fort Wayne saved on my hard drive, which I'm not saying I do, I'd have to say I appreciate the usage of the phrase "egg laying". And, at first I thought it was possibly a Grandaddy parody. Also, I might wonder about the appropriate usage of the fake(?) vibraphone sound. If I'd listened to this song about a 6 times, I might not have noticed that sound the first 3 times.
Also, it's quite excellent and I suggest you all listen to it the first chance you get.

Well I obviously haven't heard the song, but given what everyone said about it, I think it would be fitting if Violet sang something along the lines of
"Vous vous rappelez
Dans la vie de ???
Que nous avons
Embrasse tout la nuit
Il etait si grand
Extasy pure
Je ne l'oublierai
Un moment si parfait
Vous etes celui
Le seul pour moi"
which is full of mistakes, by the way. It transletes more or less into:
"Do you remember
In (didn't get that line)
That we kissed all night long
It was so big
Pure extasy
I'll never forget
Such a perfect moment
You're that one
The only one for me"

If I heard a song like that it would remind me more of River Euphrates' "ri ri ri's" |

Wouldn't it be funny if the "Fort Wayne" mp3 had a nasty virus embedded in it?

Just out of curiosity, for those of us who haven't heard Fort Wayne - does it have anything like a "ray davies" element to it? I think I remember that from one of Frank's babelfished posts... Or was that regarding "bluefinger"?
I guess I'm just trying to get a general sense of what Grand Duchy sounds like so far, from those who've heard some of the music. |

Yes, I too would love to hear it. Unfortunately I don't think anyone on this board knows that my e-mail address is the theinfamouspaw@comcast.net
It's too bad, really, because I'm sure hearing that song would make my very very bad day |

Thanks Denis.
That is chillingly beautiful. I wonder if it is autobiographical. If so, it would make it even more beautiful...
So what instruments are on this song?
Is it about Fort Wayne, Indiana? That's what I think of when I hear the words Fort Wayne.
