Deux Filles: Silence & Wisdom

According to the liner notes, Deux Filles are Gemini Forque & Claudine Coule. Not really!!!
Deux Filles are Colin Lloyd Tucker and Simon Fisher Turner. SFT says, "In 82, Colin and I left (The The) and formed our own label, 'Papier Mache.' We made 2 LP's disguised as two French girls--'Deux Filles.' They sold OK thru Rough Trade . . . "
The sound of the band resembles much of SFT's early work for Derek Jarman (who is credited in the liner notes). Strange, haunting, obscure, sometime experimental, sometimes folky creations.
