Info zu The Deluge

Fanning Dempsey National Park – the new duo comprising Powderfinger’s Bernard Fanning and Something For Kate’s Paul Dempsey – have announced the release of their hotly anticipated debut album, "The Deluge".

Bernard Fanning and Paul Dempsey agreed from the outset that their debut album, The Deluge, under the moniker Fanning Dempsey National Park, was not going to be what people think.

For both artists, The Deluge explores new terrain. Lead single, Disconnect, is a perfect indication of the chemistry at play. Ethereal synths, robotic pulses, thwacking drums, stabbing horns. A cold, shiny sonic landscape softened by two of the most impassioned and distinctive voices in Australian rock, it’s a synergy both familiar and radically evolved.

Recorded across Norway, San Francisco and Byron Bay, The Deluge was producer by Craig Silvey, the Grammy-winning studio alchemist behind albums from Arctic Monkeys, Sam Fender, The National, Florence and The Machine and countless others. Engineered in San Francisco by Danielle Bennet Spragg, with additional engineering by the legendary Nick DiDia.

Fanning Dempsey National Park
Bernard Fanning and Paul Dempsey are two of the most revered and successful Australian artists of the last 30 years.

The esteemed pair formally launch their new project Fanning Dempsey National Park with their first single Disconnect.

Fanning Dempsey National Park marks new terrain for both artists, "We agreed straight away there's no point doing something together if it's going to be what people think it's going to be,' says Paul. "It's not the two of us with acoustic guitars singing campfire songs."

Instead, they've crafted a bold sound, exemplified by the new single 'Disconnect. The sonic masterpiece combines ethereal synths, robotic pulses, thwacking drums, and stabbing sax (played by legendary saxophonist Ron Dziubla). "We didn't want it to sound like a Fanning record or a Dempsey record, we wanted it to sound like a band;' says Bernard. That was the point of the National Park moniker, Paul says. "We wanted the sense of an organisation bigger than the two of us. We settled on the name," he adds, "because it's so pompous that it made us laugh every time we said it".

The two singer-songwriters' solo works and monumental respective bands, Powderfinger and Something For Kate, account for nine number one albums, millions of sales, a staggering 38 songs in Triple J's Hottest 100, scores of awards from ARIA to APRA and beyond, and reputations among the most skilled and thoughtful writers of their generation.
