Our Swimmer

Deux Filles is the collaborative project of Simon Fisher Turner and Colin Lloyd Tucker. This dynamic duo has a fascinating history, with some false tragic stories circulating about their journey. They initially released two albums in 1982 and 1983 before taking a hiatus. However, they made a triumphant return in 2016, delighting fans with the release of two more albums (and counting).

Their unique sound sets them apart from other artists in the industry. Drawing inspiration from various genres, Deux Filles creates music that captivates listeners with its ethereal beauty and haunting melodies.

If you enjoy the enchanting sounds of Jefre Cantu-Ledesma, Roy Montgomery, or Harmonia & Eno '76, then Deux Filles will undoubtedly be a perfect addition to your music collection. Their work also resonates with fans of Pram, His Name Is Alive, Hype Williams, Cybe, Loren Connors, Ssaliva, K. Leimer, Christina Vantzou, Cindy Lee, Cluster,Pablo's Eye,Roedelius Joanne Robertson,Yasuaki Shimizu,Voice Actor Psychis TV,and Vincent Gallo.

New Wave / Post Punk

Originally released in 1983. Deux Filles was not, in fact, two girls despite what the group name and its elaborate hoax of a backstory suggest. No, they were not Gemini Forque and Claudine Coule, French women who met as teenagers under tragic circumstances and became fast friends, recording two albums together before disappearing into the ether. In reality, Deux Filles was Simon Fisher Turner and Colin Lloyd Tucker, a UK duo who first worked together in an early incarnation of The The. Straddling the line between experimental and pop, Turner was an actor and teen singing star who later composed soundtracks for the iconic queer filmmaker Derek Jarman while Tucker's career began as an engineer for the famed UK library music studio, De Wolfe, before forming experimental wave group The Gadgets. In Deux Filles, the duo found an outlet for their least commercial tendencies, combining lo-fi proto-dream-pop instrumentals with samples, tape experiments, ambient textures, and drum machines. Even in the vibrant, seemingly endless well of UK DIY, Deux Filles stand out. Double Happiness is the duo's second album, originally released in 1983 on their own imprint, Papier Maché. Full of meandering guitar and with a more ominous tone than the debut, the album is recommended for fans of Durutti Column and Thomas Leer &amp; Robert Rental's The Bridge
