“I don’t like cricket…I LOVE IT! The Duckworth Lewis Method Brings You The Greatest Cricket Album Ever…”
Under the guise of The Duckworth Lewis Method, the formidable partnership of Thomas Walsh (Duckworth) and Neil Hannon (Lewis) have delivered a wonderful collection of catchy pop songs about the beautiful game of cricket.
The concept, which was pitched at the start of the year, has gathered genuine pace along the way and while the songs are loosely or tightly connected to cricket, they are all dazzling pop songs for cricket lovers and non-lovers.
Standout tracks on the album include “The Age of Revolution”, “Jiggery Pokery (the Ball of the Century put to music)”, “The Nightwatchman”, “Meeting Mr Miandad” and “Test Match Special”, with the album set for release in time for the Ashes this summer.
“It is with a great sense of honour and humility that I come before you today to announce the forthcoming release of possibly the least necessary album of recent years,” jokes Lewis.
“I give you a kaleidoscopic musical adventure through the beautiful and rather silly world of cricket.”
So get your pads on, take your place in the sun, and salivate in expectation for the sound of the summer, ‘The Duckworth Lewis Method’.
Neil Hannon will be back with a new Divine Comedy album in the Autumn.
