‘The Fantasy Life of Poetry & Crime’ is another beguiling left turn by one of our most prolific artists, Peter Doherty. Peter’s deft lyricism combined with Frederick’s delicious francophone musical arrangements is a marriage made in heaven. The video for The ‘Epidemiologist’ was filmed and directed by Roger Sargent (The Libertines/Fat White Family/Baxter Dury)
Peter“When Frédéric and I were sat at the kitchen table writing with guitars, we wanted the feel of ‘The Last of The International Playboys’ or ‘Everyday is Like Sunday’. There are a number of references in the lyrics to films, writers and books. It’s about hope when things are a mess.
Frédéric“It was one of the first songs I played to Peter but it was the last one we finished. Pop and a bit classical.”
‘The Fantasy Life of Poetry & Crime’ will be available on Vinyl (in multiple colours), CD, cassette and digital download along with exclusive and signed items from the Official Store HERE

My life is a soundtrack, i track my life through music, photography is my passion, my escape, my expression. Without both i have pieces missing, thankfully i’m blessed and get to combine both.
Born in Manchester, lived in Australia for 22 years where i was heavily involved in the Australian Music Industry, firstly in bands (Singer) and then managing bands (all original), I moved back to the UK, Wales specifically 10 years ago and married my childhood sweetheart and life is good.
