    "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

Once upon a time it was considered pertinent to plant a thorn tree on a place of congress. Place-names that bear the title, ‘thorn’, therefore suggest a place of congregation or law hill. The proclamations made on these moots have been lost in time, but it is likely that morale boosting stories were told to empower the assembly, reminding them of past triumphs and of the better times that lay ahead.

lyrics

On borrowed time we try to talk - on borrowed time we run
We’ll meet first light on thorny mound to celebrate the sun
We will solve the mystery of the stories that they told
And we will change our destiny as borrowed lives unfold.

As borrowed lives unfold, beneath the heathen drome
As borrowed lives unfold, beneath the heathen drome.
The stories that we left behind are callings
The stories left behind recall better times.

On borrowed time we try to talk - on borrowed time we run
We’ll meet first light on thorny mound and celebrate the sun.
The stories that they left behind are warnings to us all
The stories that they left behind won’t save us from the drome.

As borrowed lives unfold, beneath the heathen drome
As borrowed lives unfold, beneath the heathen drome.
The rumours that I hear about are daunting
The rumours that I hear are just false dawns.
