Double Deüce is the brother-sister duo of Toby Goodshank (The Moldy Peaches) and Angela Carlucci (Little Cobweb, The Baby Skins, Herman Dune)

First issue of the vinyl album comes as limited edition (300 copies) Watery Ham colored Vinyl plus a 7” vinyl 4-track EP “New Crotch Comfort”,

In the wilderness of the early 00s, at the dawn of Bush’s America, NYC’s anti-folk scene served as an oasis for disaffected weirdos, singing uncomfortable truths in the most comforting of melodies, and among that community of potty-mouths, no one found hope in the profane quite like brother-sister duo Double Deüce. Over his unwavering acoustic guitar rhythms, Toby Goodshank (The Moldy Peaches) crooned with earnest rock star passion, whether singing about love or blueberry cocks, while Angela Carlucci (Little Cobweb, The Baby Skins, Herman Dune) made each song sound almost hymnlike with her seraphic soprano. Their nonsensical anthems made emotional sense to listeners who longed for tenderness in a chaotic, unstable world.

And so, with the world more chaotic and unstable than ever, it’s not a moment too soon for Double Deüce’s triumphant return, with their first full-length album in 19 years, “Warm Ham in a Foreign Home.” A collection of joyful, endearing songs –like schoolyard chants from a school for interdimensional alien tweens – ”Warm Ham” is a soothing balm for a new age of constant crisis.

Kicking off the opening number “Pig Walnut” with rollicking dance instructions (“cheek to cheek, side to side, ass to mouth on yourself”), this record evokes the freedom of recess after a grueling morning. Between rapturous, silly moments, the sibs get overtly political, from the bold “Song for Voting” (“Gigolo in disguise, got his fingie in the pies / Well he’s not like other guys / His time he’s Biden”) to the spooky anti-capitalist “Mr. Holland’s Wine” (“You double down hurting ham for fun / We know you got a lot of money (share the wealth, share the wealth)”). But despite these moments of real-world stakes, the bulk of “Warm Ham In A Foreign Home” offers an encouraging respite from the terrors of modern life, like two camp counselors holding each of your hands and telling you everything’s gonna be ok.
