Bringing their electrifying debut album ‘The Deluge’ to life on stage, the setlist will deliver surprises for fans with additions from their collective songbooks and record collections.
In addition, today sees the release of new single ‘Blackstar’, a bonus song not included on the album. You can listen to ‘Blackstar’ here.
Talking about the song, Fanning said, “Blackstar went through a full cycle of styles before arriving fully formed, as a minimalist pop rock tune. Sometimes when putting an album together you can deceive yourself into adding more ‘stuff’ to a song to make it sound different. Often, leaving that ‘stuff’ out is the key to making it work…just let the song be itself, as written, and step away from it. I think we only did a couple of takes of this one.”
‘The Deluge’ debuted at #3 on the ARIA Album Chart, #1 on the Vinyl Chart and was the Double J Feature Album.
Fanning Dempsey recently captured global attention with their incredible performance for ABC TV’s NYE24 broadcast concert, set against the iconic Sydney Harbour backdrop to help welcome in the new year for an audience of millions.
“Fanning Dempsey National Park, is such a delight: it’s the sound of two men defying expectations, venturing into new sonic territory with gleeful abandon and, most importantly, having fun”. Rolling Stone
‘The chemistry, the energy, and the sheer joy of seeing these two legends share the stage makes for an unforgettable experience. Missing this simply isn’t an option. Postcards and polaroids from the Fanning Dempsey National Park simply don’t do it justice, you have to see it for real”. The AU Review
