Deux Filles is the collaborative project of Simon Fisher Turner and Colin Lloyd Tucker. This dynamic duo has a fascinating history, with some false tragic stories circulating about their journey. They initially released two albums in 1982 and 1983 before taking a hiatus. However, they made a triumphant return in 2016, delighting fans with the release of two more albums (and counting).

Their unique sound sets them apart from other artists in the industry. Drawing inspiration from various genres, Deux Filles creates music that captivates listeners with its ethereal beauty and haunting melodies.

If you enjoy the enchanting sounds of Jefre Cantu-Ledesma, Roy Montgomery, or Harmonia & Eno '76, then Deux Filles will undoubtedly be a perfect addition to your music collection.

Leimer, Christina Vantzou, Cindy Lee, Cluster,Pablo's Eye,Roedelius Joanne Robertson,Yasuaki Shimizu,Voice Actor Psychis TV,and Vincent Gallo.

deux filles were simon fisher turner, former child star / teen idol and future soundtrack composer, and songwriter / technician colin lloyd tucker. turner and tucker left an early incarnation of the the in 1981 to pursue a different musical direction. turner claims that the idea of deux filles came to him in a dream, and he and tucker strictly maintained the fiction throughout the duo's career. not only did they pose in drag for the album covers, the duo once even played live without the audience realizing that the girls on-stage were actually a pair of blokes from south london having a giggle. deux filles released two highly collectable albums: 'silence and wisdom' (1982) and 'double happiness' (1983). after that, the duo cast their frocks aside and released two ambient pop albums as jeremy's secret. this remastered double disc set includes all tracks from both original albums packaged in a deluxe six panel digipac. the booklet features liner notes and archive deux filles images.
