‘The Fantasy Life of Poetry & Crime’ is another beguiling left turn by one of our most prolific artists, Peter Doherty. Peter’s deft lyricism combined with Frederick’s delicious francophone musical arrangements is a marriage made in heaven. The video for The ‘Epidemiologist’ was filmed and directed by Roger Sargent (The Libertines/Fat White Family/Baxter Dury) https://youtu.be/85gVZLw3k2k
Peter“When Frédéric and I were sat at the kitchen table writing with guitars, we wanted the feel of ‘The Last of The International Playboys’ or ‘Everyday is Like Sunday’. There are a number of references in the lyrics to films, writers and books. It’s about hope when things are a mess.
Frédéric“It was one of the first songs I played to Peter but it was the last one we finished. Pop and a bit classical.”
‘The Fantasy Life of Poetry & Crime’ will be available on Vinyl (in multiple colours), CD, cassette and digital download along with exclusive and signed items from the Official Store https://peterdoherty.tmstor.es/
