The Duckworth Lewis Method - Third Man


So what on earth could convince me to put a track about cricket (which in turn comes from a whole concept album about cricket!) onto The Music Truffler blog?  Well, the fact that Neil Hannon is involved helps a lot... also the fact that it sounds very like the Electric Light Orchestra in style... oh go on then!

So here we have The Duckworth Lewis Method with Third Man which comes from their new album Sticky Wickets.  Watch the video here

The band consist of Neil Hannon (from The Divine Comedy) and Thomas Walsh from Pugwash.  Believe it or not, this is their 2nd cricket inspired album, their first was released in 2009.  The name incidentally comes from a formula which is applied to get the results from a rain-affected game.  There are plenty of guests on the album - Phill Jupitus, Alexander Armstrong, Matt Berry, Daniel Radcliffe (on The Third Man), Stephen Fry - and you don't need to know a single thing about cricket to enjoy it.
