Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti speak to frieze from their studio about 'Desertshore / The Final Report', a new double album made in collaboration with the late Peter ‘Sleazy’ Christopherson. It comprises a song-by-song cover of Nico’s 1970 album 'Desertshore' – with contributions from guest vocalists Marc Almond, Antony, Blixa Bargeld, Sasha Gray and Gaspar Noé – along with the final sessions produced by Carter, Christopherson and Tutti.
"Historically despised the new Gypsies are there by choice, not heritage. Unrelated to the Roma, the movement began in 1986 when a group of Post-Punk Anti-Thatcher protesters headed out of London into the English countryside. McKell followed these New Age Travellers to the West Country and over the years he watched them become a hybrid tribe - the new gypsies - present-day rural anarchists, living the subversive lifestyle in elaborately decorated horse-drawn caravans." Iain McKell, "New Gypsies"
