First-ever English-Language Version of Iconic French Band's Track to Launch June 2, 2025
ISLINGTON, U.K. - eMusicWire -- LONDON – Acclaimed alt-country group Anthony O'Neill and the Murder are set to release their latest single, Swan Song (Le Chant des Cygnes), on June 6, 2025, marking a historic moment as the first English-language adaptation of a song by legendary French band Indochine. The track serves as the lead single from the group's forthcoming album There's Been a Murder!, scheduled for release in September 2025 on vinyl and CD.
The inspiration to reinterpret the iconic song struck after frontman Anthony O'Neill encountered the original in late 2024. A chance meeting with Indochine members Nicola Sirkis and Ludwig Dahlberg following a secret performance in London led to the band's approval of the project.
"I chatted to Nicola and Ludwig after their gig," says O'Neill. "They were enthusiastic about the idea. Indochine are monumental in France but remain under the radar here in the UK. We don't know if this cover by a country and western act will change that, but it's one of their finest songs – and recording it was a blast."

In tribute to Indochine's visually rich aesthetic, Swan Song (Le Chant des Cygnes) will be accompanied by a stylized anime-inspired music video, also set to premiere on June 6 across all digital platforms.
"This was a creative first for us," O'Neill adds. "The video is a nod to Indochine's visual artistry. We felt it was important to reflect that in our own way."
