Peter Doherty & Frédéric Lo announce the release of their new album ‘The Fantasy Life of Poetry & Crime’ through Strap Originals on Friday 18th March.

‘The Fantasy Life of Poetry & Crime’ is another piece de resistance from this constantly evolving and challenging artist, showcasing Peter’s proudly European poetry and comment on la bete humaine married to Frederick’s delicious francophone musical arrangements.

Written during lockdown and produced by Frédéric Lo ‘The Fantasy Life of Poetry & Crime’ was recorded at Cateuil in Étretat (Normandy) and Studio Water Music in Paris and mixed by François Delabrière at Studio Moderne, Paris. All words are by Peter Doherty and music by Frédéric Lo.

„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..” (Peter Doherty)

“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.” (Frédéric Lo)
