The Deluge

Bernard Fanning and Paul Dempsey are two of the most revered and successful Australian artists of the last 30 years. The esteemed pair have in 2024 launched new project Fanning Dempsey National Park and released their debut album, The Deluge. Fanning Dempsey National Park marks new terrain for both artists, “We agreed straight away there’s no point doing something together if it’s going to be what people think it’s going to be,” says Paul Dempsey. “It’s not the two of us with acoustic guitars singing campfire songs.” They’ve crafted a bold sound, exemplified by lead single ‘Disconnect’, the title track ‘The Deluge’, and new single ‘Born Expecting’. You may hear the tangles DNA of Powderfinger and Something For Kate in vivid flashes here and there, but the electronic washes, synth arpeggiators and motorik rhythms bring new skin to the game.
