Description
'Songs From Planet Earth' is Deux Furieuses' third full length album, the second with Xtra Mile Recordings. Written and recorded during the last two turbulent years, Songs From Planet Earth is a beating heart signal out from this world as we fall spinning into a vortex of pandemic, isolation, avoidable deaths, political corruption, personal mourning and ultimately survival. The album documents the journey from the city to the countryside like refugees in search of sanctuary. 'Bring Down The Government' jumps on the fuzz box to demand a reckoning for all the lives.
Deux Furieuses are currently members of Brix Smith (from The Fall) band, playing guitar and drums. They are touring across the UK supporting PiL throughout June; Kendal Calling, Loud Women Festival appearances and further headline and support shows in November and December.
Track 1 - 'Bring Down The Government' - released as a single on 14th June 2022
'Bring Down The Government' started life as a paranoid riff jam and soon became a musical grenade aimed at the dark heart of Boris Johnson's Conservative Government which we both felt to be disastrous for the country in its handling of the Covid pandemic. The care home tragedy was a scandal that affected us personally. The PPE nightmare, public health disinformation, lucrative profiteering and partying at Downing Street were symptomatic of Tory self-interest and a dumbed down political discourse. 'Benighted criminals all on the make' sums them up for us!
The second verse takes inspiration from the 'gathering of the tribes' as we finally performed live again at Frank Turner's emotional Gathering shows in 2021 and demands 'a reckoning for all the lives'.
'Bring Down The Government' was recorded in October 2021 as part of a two week residential album session at Grange Farm Studio. We produced ourselves for the first time with the help of Isi Clarke who recorded the album and Mark Freegard (The Breeders) who mixed the album. We are honoured that Deb Googe from My Bloody Valentine plays bass on the track!
Track 2 - 'Know The Score' - released as a single together with announce of album on 21st July 2022
Track 3 - All We Need Is Sanctuary - released as an IG on 2nd September 2022
Track 4 - Our Day We Come - released as an IG on 21st October 2022
Track 5 - Isolation Days - focus track with album release on 11th November 2022
