Jehnny Beth & Julian Casablancas
Cult Records and Pop Noire Records are pleased to announce the release of a collaboration between Julian Casablancas (The Strokes/The Voidz) and Jehnny Beth (Savages).
The two joined forces to duet on a cover of “Boy-Girl”, originally released by seminal Danish punk band, Sort Sol featuring Lydia Lunch.
"Sort Sol are cult in Denmark, and today very influential in the Copenhagen scene (Iceage etc...). I would be pleased to make their name known better," adds Jehnny Beth.
The collaboration stems from the pair’s mutual admiration after meeting while on tour in South America, and having an interest in finding a way to work together.
The idea to collaborate became to take shape when Johnny Hostile (Savages producer) suggested the song to Jehnny. Both recorded the bulk of the song in Paris, before it was handed to Julian to perfect.
Casablancas notes: “I had never heard the song before and still have no idea what the hell the words are talking about. It sounds like a Danish dude trying sound like he’s saying English sounding words”.
The forthcoming video to premiere next week was directed by long time visual collaborator and Cult Records' creative director, Warren Fu.
Julian and Jehnny Beth recently sat down for a conversation, in which the transcript is available now via Casablancas’ newly launched website for Cult Records, cultrecords.com.
The song will be released as a limited edition 7” vinyl single on December, 18th, with a special B-side remix by Pop Noire's producer Johnny Hostile, available for pre-order now via cultrecords.com (North America) and popnoire.com (International).
Julian Casablancas+The Voidz released their debut album, ‘Tyranny’, last fall. The Strokes will headline Live Out Monterrey on December, 12th in Mexico, following other recent headline performances at Austin City Limits and Landmark this past fall.
Jehnny Beth recently announced her forthcoming LP with Savages, Adore Life, out in January 22nd on Matador records and available for pre-order now. The first video for the track 'The Answer' came out in October.
