FANNING DEMPSEY NATIONAL PARK RELEASE NEW SINGLE “BLACKSTAR” BONUS SONG FROM THE CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED DEBUT ALBUM “THE DELUGE” OUT NOW + ANNOUNCE “THE DELUGE” REGIONAL TOUR
Bernard Fanning and Paul Dempsey release a new single ‘Blackstar’ today, a bonus song from their highly acclaimed debut album ‘The Deluge’ out now. 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.”
