Peter Doherty & Frédéric Lo – „The Fantasy Life of Poetry & Crime“

Heute dürfen wir dir das neue Album “The Fantasy Life Of Poetry & Crime” von Peter Doherty & Frédéric Lo vorstellen, welches am 18. März via Strap Originals erscheint.

„The Fantasy Life of Poetry & Crime“ ist ein weiteres Meisterwerk des Künstlers, der sich ständig weiterentwickelt und selbst herausfordert und eine Symbiose aus Peters europäischer Poesie und Frédérics köstlichen frankophonen Musikarrangements. Geschrieben wurde „The Fantasy Life of Poetry & Crime” während des Lockdowns. Aufgenommen wurde es in Cateuil in Étretat (Normandie) und im Water Music Studio in Paris, gemischt wurde es von François Delabrière im Studio Moderne in Paris. Alle Texte stammen von Peter Doherty und die Musik von Frédéric Lo.

Peter Doherty über seine Begegnung mit Frederic:

„It was a time of infectious and catchy malady amongst the cauchoise..and throughout the known world..Curiously, after 20 years of sustained intoxication, my own inner populace of demons and creative coalition were doing their own strange dance-off/war of attrition. A new balance of power was forming. A fragile state emerged in a detoxified land. Was this as a backdrop a man in a hat with a guitar on his back did appear in silhouette, high on a Normandy clifftop.I squinted in the late morning sun and put out a shaky hand.. „Mr Frederic Lo, I presume..”

Frédéric Lo über die Zusammenarbeit mit Peter:

“I went to find Peter, a year and a half ago, with the intention of asking him to participate in my tribute album to Daniel Darc. The recording went perfectly. Peter’s interpretation gave me chills. The version was beautiful. It was then that Peter asked me to continue working together. So we met again in September. I proposed melodies. Peter would write lyrics to my music, improvise, erase. Then began two months of daily writing and composing. I loved the time spent in this house with Peter, just concentrating on making songs, sitting in the kitchen, with a guitar, a typewriter, oysters, cigars, wine, rum… Some laughter. A few tears too.”
