Duchess Says was created in late 2003 by four influent members of the Church of Budgerigars who decided to collaborate together in a common musical project. Their goal was to insure a faithful representation of the message of the Duchess (or spiritual budgie) through a precise artistic dialog.
Sciences Nouvelles is their first album in five years, following 2011's In A Fung Day T.
Two singles, Negative Thoughts and I Repeat Myself have been released from Sciences Nouvelles. These singles show that Duchess Says keep their trademark Moog Rock sound whilst not repeating themselves.
