Since 2001, Duchess Says have been spreading the gospel of the influential and mysterious Church of Budgerigars. Their learned mix of hypnotic rock and saturated keys, concocted by Phil C., Ismaël and Simon Says, is delivered by A-C, a sermon laden with the teachings of the novice Mère-Perruche. In order to better contextualize their message the four acolytes of the Ch. O. B. released a first long player in 2008, Anthologie des 3 Perchoirs. Since then they’ve unleashed a number of pagan celebrations: SXSW, le Festival d’été de Québec, Nuits Sonores, Dour, Osheaga, Primavera Sound, Eurockéennes and CMJ, to name a few. They’ve also played in a slew of nasty basements and other joyous venues. In 2009 Duchess Says opened up for Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ UK tour.
The congregation has prayed the three Ts; now it’s time to reiterate.
In a Fung Day T! is their second offering. Adrian Popovich and Joseph Donovan of the Mountain City studio have succeeded in recording a dynamic, dancing alienation. Hypnotizing keys to give order to the sectors; a palpable tension in the main district; refrains hammered ad infinitum – an infinity of ten psalms.
