Let me ask you this: who doesn’t like getting punched by their friends? I certainly do, and by the sounds of this gently whirring piece of alt. pop, dreadlocked art rocker Duke Special does, too. Taken from his new album Oh Pioneer, ‘Punch Of A Friend’ sees the Special one celebrate mates who practice tough love, and it’s a surprisingly soothing tribute, thanks to that dynamite voice of his. Available as a free download from the Duke's website.
