The always melodic and attuned duplet; James Duncan and Kelly Steven have been playing music together for, well, quite a long time.
They released their debut eponymous EP 'Punches' in 2006.
"Dark one minute, sweet the next, the duo's debut EP contains six tracks rooted in folk, pop and country, but rendered stranger and more memorable with well-intergrated flourishes...when a song needs nudging over the edge, (Duncan) does this too. 'Four Feet' is a highlight here...tense verses that drag you in and Duncan's guitar detonating like a grenade on each chorus." wrote Grant Smithies, who also popped the Punches EP into his '118 Great NZ albums' book, Kelly was lucky to receive this from James for her birthday.
Before Kelly's birthday next year, with melodies and duplets at hand, they will record a new album which will be ready for release in March 2010... please standby...x
Selon Recliner, The Orchid Door Album Release "Buffet & Show"
7pm Sat 16 May, New Orient, Auckland City.
To celebrate the release of Their 2nd album “The Orchid Door”, Selon Recliner are sharpening their chopsticks & oiling the Lazy Susan for a Buffet & Show at the classic & infamous New Orient restaurant, where deep in the basement of the Strand Arcade time has stopped still. With a complimentary “Orchid Door” Cocktail on arrival, and the New Orient’s famous Buffet to arouse your appetite, DJ Jimmy Olsen and VJ Grafix will add extra seasoning and get the night spinning. As the tastes settle and ambience is absorbed the bamboo curtain will pull back on The Orchid Door as Selon Recliner take over the old parquet dance floor.
