Jesus in the Courtyard

King Dude’s music is dark pagan-fueled folk wrapped tight with outsider Americana, steeped in themes of love, death and redemption. As reverent as it is prophetic and stark, Burning Daylight pulls together the biblical sound and isolation of the northwest. King Dude draws from artists akin to Death In June & Leonard Cohen but sews together a hybrid of true folk tradition alongside the likes of Woody Guthrie and Johnny Cash. Last year’s release of King Dude’s debut full-length masterpiece, Love, saw a beautiful vision of what was in store for the future…and that future is now. Burning Daylight is the newest edition to the King Dude canon.  Coal dust spirituals mined from the haunting backwoods landscape of the Pacific Northwest.  Stories of the constant struggle of man’s turbulent affair with his Lord and the Devil. Burning Daylight produces a maturity and direction that is unparalleled…showing us the word, the way and the light.
