Deer Prudence Releases Sophomore Single “Judgement Call”

Deer Prudence proves it can do no wrong with the release of a brand new single “Judgement Call.” The follow-up to “Sam’s Lament,” this is another sublime slice of country-folk with a message that resonates.

“Inspired by the happenings in the world around us, ‘Judgement Call’ is a song singing of our disappointment in the justice system and politics; an ode to all the embittered businessmen out there who’ve lost touch with the rest of us,” the Melbourne duo explained in a press release.

“Judgement Call” comes from Deer Prudence’s self-titled EP, which will drop on February 17. The band will launch the EP with two Victorian shows.

19 February 2017 – Goldmines, Bendigo (FREE)
25 February 2017 – Spotted Mallard, Brunswick

Be Transported by Deer Prudence’s “Sam’s Lament”

Deer Prudence has thoroughly charmed me with the impending release of “Sam’s Lament,” a folky ditty which takes me to the misty landscapes of Ireland with its sweet, ethereal harmonies and plaintive violins.

The lasses from Deer Prudence actually grew up in regional Victoria, and relocated to Melbourne to study and pursue their musical careers. The song touches on the changes they’ve made during that time.

“For us, Sam’s Lament is a piece that signifies our last five years – writing, recording, finishing a music degree and leaving our hometowns – an epic ode to the good that’s happened and to some of the bad,” they explained in a press release. “We drew parallels between someone travelling a great distance; a mystical tale – and landed on Frodo and Sam’s trek to Mount Doom bearing the weight of the Ring of Power … Life is a bit like that.”

Deer Prudence will officially launch this gorgeous single with a free show at Clifton Hills’ Some Velvet Morning on November 19. Forever Son will support.
