Julia Deans is known across the lands as Fur Patrol's charismatic and charming front-woman. Now stepping out of her Fur Patrol shoes, July 12 sees the release of her long awaited solo album, Modern Fables.
A step away from the driving rock and anthemic, sonic journeys Fur Patrol created, Deans has allowed more of an introspective, acoustic pop side of her songwriting to emerge. At times tinged with folk, at others pure balladry, Modern Fables showcases a talent gracefully exploring other avenues of musical expression.
Modern Fables is an album that many have been anticipating for a long time. Worth the wait, this record doesn't disappoint; Julia Deans delivers some of the best songs she has ever written.
Julia is touring New Zealand in August with her band – Richie Pickard on bass, and Redford Grenell on drums. The delightful Lisa Crawley will be opening all shows.
