about
Duff Thompson is an American songwriter, musician, and producer whose songs are a swampy blend of folk, pop, and garage rock. Based out of New Orleans, Thompson is a frequent cohort and collaborator with the likes of Esther Rose, Twain and The Deslondes. His album, Haywire, was released through, Mashed Potato Records. Thompson’s voice is a welcoming, bassy croak, reminiscent of the likes of Hamilton Leithauser or Cut Worms’ Max Clarke. That most potent of instruments is balanced here on Haywire by his love for traditional American-folk and his production style, all vintage microphones, upright bass and semi-acoustic guitars, creating a sound that’s origins are probably closer to 1920 than 2020. This is no mere pastiche of the past, and that is largely down to the sheer honesty that Duff throws at his song-writing, whether looking at the way time changes our perceptions of the past on the title track, or celebrating the joys of simplicity on You’re Pretty Good.
