Marking three years to the day since the COVID lockdown was implemented in the UK, ‘Let Them Pass’ sees deux furieuses tread into more personal territory without compromising on their usual insurgent political form.

Reverberating with a profound sense of outrage and loss, the new track tackles the government’s incompetence with a spear-heading assault of their trademark alt-rock. As the band explain: “’Let Them Pass’ is a song of mourning and personal loss as a consequence of the Government’s irresponsible care home failures during the early stages of the pandemic. I wrote it after a walk in the woods on Christmas Day 2020 when sunlight shone through the tall fir trees and I felt the death all around me pass onto life.”

Accompanied by a stirring and sombre official video that reflects on the lasting consequences the pandemic continues to have today, deux furieuses add: “The song is about being unable to say goodbye in person. It’s for the young care home worker who broke the rules to accept a video of homemade music via her WhatsApp to play on a final phone call and told me: ‘she’s smiling’. It’s in tribute to all those who put on what little PPE they had to care for others. It’s a song of mourning for us all as this passes into history.”

With blistering electric guitar lines, impending drums that clang like a rallying call for the masses, and impassioned vocals that tell the tale of a world in tatters, Deux Furieuses explain: “’Our Day Will Come’ was written during the COVID-19 pandemic at a time when we couldn’t sing out loud for fear of aerosol transmission. ‘Sing it out without any fear’ was hope for the future”

Of the message behind the scorching new cut, deux furieuses explain: “‘Bring Down The Government’ started life as a paranoid riff jam with us jumping on a fuzz box and behind the kit in Vas’s attic to make some noise around the first lockdown. It soon became a musical grenade aimed at the dark heart of Boris Johnson’s Conservative Government which we both felt to be disastrous for the country in its handling of the Covid pandemic. The care home tragedy was a scandal that affected us personally.”

With its lyrics just as timely now as they were in the midst of the Covid lockdowns, Ros Cairney’s highly charged vocal rises-up like a rallying cry for the masses as the band make a stand against the Government’s catastrophic handling of the pandemic.

“The PPE nightmare, public health disinformation, lucrative profiteering and partying at Downing Street were symptomatic of Tory self-interest and a dumbed-down political discourse” the band add. ‘Benighted criminals all on the make’ sums them up for us!”
