Dukes of Windsor are a Australian electronic rock group. Although formed in Melbourne, Australia, they are currently based in Berlin, Germany. They are notable for their single "It's a War", released in Australia in 2008 and in Europe in early 2010, as well as their song "The Others", remixed by Australian electronic group TV Rock. They "fuse minimalist rhythms, punchy bass-lines, cascading guitar riffs, and glacial synths". Their music has been described as "angular and reductive, groovy and melodic", and has been termed the beautiful paradox of "robotic soul".
The Dukes' career began with the release of the EP Foxhunt in 2005. Debut album The Others followed in 2006, produced in Melbourne by expatriate American Jonathan Burnside (Faith No More, Nirvana). Extra production, mixing and mastering were provided by hardcore producers Pelle Henricsson and Eskil Lövström (Refused - The Shape of Punk to Come, Poison the Well, Hell Is for Heroes) from Tonteknik Studios in Umea, Sweden. After the release of the album, the band embarked on an intensive schedule of touring around Australia. After extensive national radio play, they were showcased as a Next Crop Artist by national broadcaster Triple J in November 2006.
Darling, let me spend a moment with you
I want both of us to share what's on my mind
There's been a change in you and I'm so happy
For I haven't been this happy all the time
There's been something in your past and now it's dying
It kept you from loving me all this time
I can tell that she don't worry you any longer
And after all these years you're really mine
'Cause your love's been a long time coming
All the hurt just turned to loving
And I'll take it before it's not too late
It took a long time to work it out
Now it's here and there's no doubt
Your love's been a long time coming
But it's here to stay
