US-based anti-folk duo Double Deüce have emerged from a 19-year hiatus with their latest offering, ‘Warm Ham In A Foreign Home,’ marking their return in collaboration with German label BB*Island.

In the midst of the early 2000s, amidst the backdrop of Bush-era America, the vibrant anti-folk scene of NYC stood as a refuge for the unconventional, where discomforting truths found solace in comforting melodies. Within this enclave of misfits and poets, Double Deüce, a sibling duo, carved their niche, embracing the profane with a fervor that bordered on hopefulness. Toby Goodshank, known from The Moldy Peaches, wielded his acoustic guitar with steadfast rhythms, delivering lyrics that oscillated between love ballads and whimsical musings on the absurd. Angela Carlucci, with her ethereal soprano, lent a hymnal quality to their repertoire, transforming nonsensical anthems into emotional touchstones for a generation yearning for solace amidst chaos.
