Deux Furieuses
Deux Furieuses return with new single ‘Our Day Will Come’, the final track to be taken from their new album ‘Songs From Planet Earth’ due 11th November via Xtra Mile Recordings.
Arriving at a time where political resistance and insurgence against inequality has never felt so urgent, “Our Day Will Come” blends rousing punk rhythms with a glimmering sense of hope for the future.
With blistering electric guitar lines, impending drums that clang like a rallying call for the masses, and impassioned vocals that tell the tale of a world in tatters, Deux Furieuses explain: “”Our Day Will Come” was written during the COVID-19 pandemic at a time when we couldn’t sing out loud for fear of aerosol transmission. ‘Sing it out without any fear’ was hope for the future”
As punishing guitars bring the track to its anarchic and inspiring conclusion, Deux Furieuses drive home their knack for crafting rhythmic melodies that are unafraid to cause a mutiny amongst impassive ranks. Chiming with the politics of the song, the official video also salutes the efforts of those Iranian women currently putting their lives on the line for a better future. As the duo add: “As Brexit Britain mourns its own past, the Conservatives release protected land to be savaged for property development, as women in Iran take a dangerous stand for their rights against morality police and as the music business continues to offer self-perpetuating opportunities to the boys with guitars, it sometimes feels like our causes will outlive us. “Our Day Will Come” says: take our rebel song, take our spirit and fight the good fight when we are no longer here… In the video, we brandish head scarves in solidarity with the inspiring young Iranian women so courageously protesting for change despite the risk to their lives.”
Following insurrectionary earlier tracks “All We Need Is Sanctuary”, “Know The Score” and “Bring Down The Government”, “Our Day Will Come” is the final instalment in a series of strident samplers taken from Deux Furieuses third full-length LP, ‘Songs From Planet Earth’. Landing on 11 November, the album is the band’s second with Xtra Mile Recordings and was written over the course of the last two turbulent years.
Touching on the maelstrom of socio-political issues that continue to dominate the UK, from widespread inequality and the ongoing outcomes of the pandemic to environmental issues and gender politics, the album takes unflinching aim at a government completely incompetent to deal with them.
Recorded in October 2021 as part of a two-week residential album session at Grange Farm Studio, the album was self-produced by the band for the first time. Assistant production was added by Isi Clarke who also recorded the album with mix/post production by Mark Freegard (The Breeders). A special guest appearance comes from Deb Googe (My Bloody Valentine), who plays bass on previous single “Bring Down The Government”, a track whose June 2022 release was met with the immediate resignation of Boris Johnson.
A band on a mission and unafraid to make a bold statement, of the themes at the heart of the new album they say: “‘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.”
