The Deluge is the debut studio by Australian duo Bernard Fanning and Paul Dempsey credited as Fanning Dempsey National Park. [4] The album was announced on 30 May 2024 and is scheduled for release on 2 August 2024. [1]
The album will be supported with a five date Australian tour commencing in October 2024. [5] [1]
Fanning and Dempsey have been prevalent in the Australian music scene since the 1990s, with their groups, Powderfinger and Something for Kate respectively. [6]
In August 2020, the duo uploaded a cover of " Under Pressure" onto YouTube, which was recorded during the COVID-19 lockdown in Australia. [7] Fanning also contributed backing vocals on the Something for Kate track "Inside Job" on their 2020 album, The Modern Medieval. [2]
In April 2024, the duo announced "devious plans" on social media. [8] Upon release of "Disconnect" Fanning confirmed more music saying, "We didn't want it to sound like a Fanning record or a Dempsey record, we wanted it to sound like a band." [2]
"Disconnect" was released on 10 May 2024 as the album's lead single, following a fortnight of online teasers. Al Newstead from Australian Broadcasting Corporation called it "a barrelling number on which Fanning and Dempsey trade lead vocals over a triumphant, heartland rock backing." [2] Mary Varvaris from The Music said "the song, features Ron Dziubla's saxophone, huge drums, synths, and a gorgeous lead melody that showcases Fanning and Dempsey's skillset." [8]
The title track was released on 28 June 2024, which Mary Varvaris from The Music reviewed saying "A song that highlights both of the singers' bands melodic sensibilities with a little dash of Kraftwerk, 'The Deluge' is just the right balance of quirky, 80s-inspired electronic elements and rock and roll."
