context_page_description: One Day Die is the third studio album of singer-songwriter Matt Duke and his second major-label record. It was released by Rykodisc in the US on March 29, 2011, and featured the single "Needle and Thread".
context_section_description: Following a tour and collaboration with Jay Nash and Tony Lucca that resulted in the EP TFDI, Duke began assembling material for his next full-length album.  He enlisted producer Jason Finkel, who had been the producer of the Acoustic Kingdom Underground EP that he had recorded earlier that year, to help lead the album. Duke and Finkel began pre-production in September 2009, working on songs such as "Seriously, Indulge Me" and "Needle and Thread." However, production for the album was stopped indefinitely when Duke broke his right hand in an accident in November. Unable to play guitar, Duke spent the next four months tending and rehabbing his hand, while also focusing on writing.  The inability to play guitar and time off lead Duke to rethink his album and when it was determined that he'd be able to play again, he went into the studio with a changed direction for the album. Recording continued in February and mixing was finished around August 2010. The single "Needle and Thread" was released on January 18, 2011 while the album was released on March 29, two and a half years after Kingdom Underground was released.
