**Out Mon 12th December**
The Doomed Bird of Providence present two new tracks: The Bell of the Jardines and The Death Flurry (a live favourite). The two tracks are available to download from Monday 12th December.
Continuing the theme from their recent album 'Will Ever Pray', the tracks recount tales from early Australian history. The Bell of the Jardines is about Frank Jardine, telling the story of his troubled life through journeys across North East Australia, abducting Somoan princesses, attracting the ships to the rocks (with 'the bell of the Jardines'), and his eventual death of leprosy.
The Death Flurry is in inspired by the work of Scottish-Australian singer Harry Robertson, and tells the tale of whaling exploits of Norfolk Islanders, whilst also referencing the painting The Death Flurry by Oswald W. Brierly.
