The Voyeurs Premiere 'Train To Minsk' Video On Entertainment Weekly
Announce European Dates With Fat White Family & Headline Tour
The Voyeurs (formerly Charlie Boyer & TheVoyeurs) have released their new video exclusively on Entertainment Weekly. 'Train To Minsk' was directed by the one and only Douglas Hart (The Jesus and Mary Chain).
If the debut album had a spiritual home in New York City, the new LP has its heart in London. "A lot of the album is about characters," said Charlie Boyer. "There are a lot of domestic themes – sometimes a story about a boy and a girl, with maybe some ofthe characters moving from song to song. It's more of an English record – where showtunes and a sense of humour enter the picture, moving on from simple gutter rock."
The album title comes from an old English theatrical device – the tradition where the phrase "rhubarb, rhubarb" is used to produce background dialogue on stage and on the TV. "There's a lot of noise around in the world today," added Charlie. "I was thinking ofthe idea of making noise but not really saying anything. The idea of "rhubarb, rhubarb" is unscripted background conversation in plays and on television. Today people are commenting on things all the time, commenting in new ways – Twitter and things. But a lot of it's just more background, another kind of "rhubarb, rhubarb"..."
The band are set to tour Europe with Fat White Family in February before heading off on their own headline UK tour.
