A Love Letter of Faith

Little sweetheart, I wanted to tell you that yesterday the great BBC 3 and Soho Radio broadcaster, Max Reinhardt had us on his show. We spoke for an hour, much about you, of course and he had some very kind and thoughtful words about both the new album and our entire body of work together.

He called us “holy sonic icons”, little sweetheart, and I think that’s going be hard to top, don’t you?!

One of the things he said that really struck me was that the music has always seemed to him like sacred music and that that had so very much to do with you. 

That is so very much what I’ve often hoped others would take from this, little sweetheart, because writing, composing, playing, recording, our music has always been to me a form of prayer - for and to you. A love letter of faith.

Listen, little sweetheart - you’re on the radio! With all my love…

On Max's show

We’re always excited, little sweetheart, when the great Max Reinhardt - BBC Radio 3/Soho Radio - plays us on his show... and he has again this week! 

As Christmas nears, he featured one of my favorites from our album Til Morning Is Nigh - "Milles Anges Divins". It’s a French carol that Sylvia suggested for the album. I learned and re-arranged it and wrote out all the French in phonetics so I could sing it properly! Ha! I also play melodica on it! 

This particular episode of Max’s show is not available on the MixCloud archive but here’s a link to the track on Bandcamp and below is the video we did for it. 

Love you forever!

Best Albums of 2020

Remember, little sweetheart, I was just telling you about all the wonderful, lovely airplay Deux Anges has been getting? Well, last weekend something extraordinary happened... 

Max Reinhardt - the legendary longtime host of BBC Radio 3’s great Late Junction - featured us on his show on London’s Soho Radio. And not just any show - his Best of 2020. And not just on the three hour show - he closed the show with us! “Infinity Hall” (which seems to kinda becoming the single) ended the program - his Best Releases of the Year - and he introduced us with these words: 

"And... Bipolar Explorer. Well... there is hauntology at work. Hauntology right in the center of their work."

From your days at Oxford, little sweetheart, to my days working in London as a writer, to our times, finally, together there, I think it would be hard to find two more Anglophile Americans than you & I, don't you? And an not unsubstantial part of that was listening, on both sides of the Atlantic, to Max - and John Peel and Verity Sharp - on BBC. Pretty heady stuff for us, isn't it little sweetheart? 

Listen, you're on the radio!
