Mr Wolf by HANS DEVILLE feat. Andrew J Davies
Released through Property Of The Lost on 12th May 2021
Following his debut outing, the maritime folk influenced “Porbandar”, Hans Deville delivers his second single “Mr Wolf”. Once more collaborating with dark country vocalist Andrew J Davies, “Mr Wolf” takes inspiration from 60’s West Coast Psychedelia and the English Avant Garde mixing fuzz box guitars, monastic chanting and a kazoo crescendo. The song’s smooth swagger belies the sinister subject matter.
“The lyrics are based on an undercover Police unit that infiltrated environmental and other activist groups in the UK during the 90’s and noughties. Posing as committed activists while leading double lives, some of these cops had long term sexual relationships with female activists and in some cases even fathered children with these women.” ”
