The Dusk are from Greater Manchester (Middlewich in Cheshire to be precise) but they follow in the Manchester tradition of producing great electro-indie rock music. From Happy Mondays to Doves and more recently Delphic and Hurts, this area of North west England seems to produce some of the finest indie dance music.
The 5 piece comprises of Alastair Gunn on lead guitar (songwriter), James Grierson vocals (Lyrics), Mark Roberts on Rythm Guitar, Chis Cleland Bass and Jansson Bostock Drums and Percussion.
It's a confident statement of intent with some great tunes and catchy hooks. The laid back sound is easy on the ear however, if it could be re-mixed with a bigger production and sound there's no reason that The Dusk couldn't be as big as Delphic and Hurts - they're almost there.
Their self titled album is available to download from their website and will soon be available on iTunes and Amazon.
