    "Few of us can see the world from the planets AND in its atoms; it demands a perspective that can see both the detail and the breadth, see both the history and the present, see both the reality of the world and also its supernatural echoes around us. ...Duir! are the only artists I can think of who do it so well in music and words."
    Mike Wistow

    A tight, compact blast of glam-folk with post-punk attitude. DROME reveals a topsy-turvy journey through Lincolnshire tradition, told through spoken word and song and where fact and fantasy become embroiled in time-shifting theatre.
    Put aside the disquiet of the present and allow yourself to be briefly distracted and indulge with them on a journey through a timeless landscape where fact and fantasy become intrinsically linked. Through their endeavours DUIR have, in effect, sought to create their own, timeless DROME.

about

In this simple folk song the singer becomes the eternal watchman – Wishbone Ash’s ‘Argus’ warrior – looking out surveying the English countryside. Observing the co-existence of both ancient and modern.

lyrics

Shelter inside.
Winds blow hot and cold; lights cross the Fen
Cars stream along.
In paths of shining steel - homeward bound

Many a day I have stood and watched from your side
Many a day I have stood and watched and listened

To all the grass as rivers flow, we shine and burn
And what’s the why’s and wherefores there’s never reason to recall
Before events. To make the plans I can’t relate
Heaven sent. To make the plans I can’t recall
I can’t recall.

Many a day I have stood and watched from your side
Many a day I have stood and watched and listened
