Tav Falco’s historico-musico revue, Panther Burns, originated in 1979 at the nadir of Memphis’ postmodern, post-Beale, post-Sun, post-Stax era, when the Mississippi River town had seemingly disappeared from the cultural map and shriveled into an obsolescent landmark. The newest release, CONJURATIONS: Séance for Deranged Lovers – just recorded in a secret studio in Saint Germain des Prés on Paris’ left bak – is the definitive masterpiece of the Panther Burns. Refining the themes explored by the group over their career: unrequited love, betrayal, and lost causes, the new record is composed of all original songs. CONJURATIONS consummates Falco’s vision as sounding like Marlene Dietrich under torture, evokes the phenomenal fires of the Panther Burns and is supported by a line-up of players devoted to the band over the past decade: Giovanna Pizzorno – drums; Grégoire Cat – guitar; Laurent Lanouzière – bass.
