Bernard Fanning and Paul Dempsey are two of the most revered and successful Australian artists of the last 30 years. Launching new project Fanning Dempsey National Park and releasing acclaimed debut album, The Deluge (debuting at #3 on the ARIA Album Chart, #1 on the Vinyl Chart and was the Double J Feature Album), they now release new single ‘Blackstar’, a bonus song not included on the album. They’ve crafted a bold sound, exemplified by singles ‘Disconnect’, ‘The Deluge’, ‘Born Expecting’ and ‘Blood’. You may hear the tangled 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. Following their sell-out tour across Australia’s capital cities in 2024, Fanning Dempsey National Park will tour regional Australia in April and May 2025. The two singer-songwriters’ solo works and monumental respective bands, Powderfinger and Something For Kate, account for nine number one albums, millions of sales, a staggering 38 songs in Triple J’s Hottest 100, scores of awards from ARIA to APRA and beyond, and reputations among the most skilled and thoughtful writers of their generation.
