Julia Deans

About the Artist

Known primarily as front-woman of Fur Patrol, Julia Deans is the possessor of one of modern rock’s most interesting voices - able to shift elegantly between soaring falsetto and assured growl. Over the last few years Deans has been branching out from her comfort zone collaborating with different artists, such as Tiki Taane on his multi-award winning album "Past,Present, Future", all the while working away quietly at her debut solo album.
 
The solo album 'Modern Fables' has been recorded in three cities - Berlin, Christchurch and Melbourne - with the help of many wonderful, talented friends.

A step away from the driving rock and anthemic, sonic journeys Fur Patrol created, Deans has allowed more of an introspective, acoustic pop side of her songwriting to emerge. At times tinged with folk, at others pure balladry, Modern Fables showcases a talent gracefully exploring other avenues of musical expression.

Modern Fables is an album that many have been anticipating for a long time. Worth the wait, this record doesn't disappoint; Julia Deans delivers some of the best songs she has ever written.

Julia is touring New Zealand in August with her band – Richie Pickard on bass, and Redford Grenell on drums.
