Writer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Duncan Lyall’s exemplary resumé includes recent work with Mark Knopfler on the music for the delayed stage adaptation of Local Hero. He’s also collaborated with Craig Armstrong and toured with Mary Chapin Carpenter, and has had a firm foothold in traditional folk territory as a double bassist with Kate Rusby and celtic “supergroup” Treacherous Orchestra. But his notable new album, Milestone (Red Deer), is a showcase for his nimble mastery of the Moog, which takes the role of the bass and assumes some lead melody lines too. They intertwine splendidly with strings, woodwinds and electric guitar on such evocative instrumental pleasures as Barnacarry Bay. A format-fusing delight.
