The Duke Of Norfolk

The Duke of Norfolk is a prolific chap, having released 7 EPs and a single since February 2011. In those three years, The Duke (also known as Adam Howard) tinkered with his singer/songwriter sound until it became an expansive indie-folk-pop mix that includes banjo, synthesizers, percussion, and cello. Thus, the 11-song Birds… Fly South! is the metaphorical and literal culmination of those EPs: Howard culled the best songs from his discography and completely reworked each of them in his new style. 


The result is a wide-ranging album that uses the seasons of bird migration (winter and spring) as focal points. Highlights include the jubilant choir of “The South,” the intimate “Goodbye,” the adventurous instrumental “Nightingale,” and the hushed “Ode to Winter.” The Duke takes fans of Josh Ritter, Sufjan Stevens, and The Decemberists through the ups and downs of the seasons with a melodic ear and earnest lyrics.
