The Dukes of Erlington

About Me

a lil story about how things came to be...

my name is erling. some people say it's duke. i don't mind. one day i felt really sad. i felt like my friends could see and feel my sadness and on top of that, my sadness brought all of them sadness as well. so i left town

when i came back i'd had a wonderful and dreamy and fucked up and amazing and beautiful time all by myself, in the middle of a forest. i had written lots of songs about this n’ that and i wanted to record them before i forgot them. this also reminded me to feel all emotions that flow through me at any given point...to the fullest i recorded the songs with my friend calf, i played most of the instruments myself (something i had always wanted to achieve on a recording) and the product that came out of all these sessions is what you are listening to now i hope the music can be related to by someone somewhere...to me it is a diary from a couple of months of my life, that i cherish as an achievment and a beautiful memory thank u for listening.
