Douglas Dare is a London-based singer-songwriter, originally from the coastal town of Bridport, South West England.Douglasreleased his first EP 'Seven Hours' in September 2013 on the Erased Tapes label. It was received to much applause, withMary AnneHobbs describing the EP as, "very strange and wonderful", and Drowned In Sound announcing him as "a bright newtalent". After anextensive European tour with fellow Erased Tapes artist, Ólafur Arnalds, Douglas began recording his debutalbum 'Whelm' with hisdrummer/producer Fabian Prynn, before embarking on his first North American tour with label mate NilsFrahm in early 2014.
His live sound combines acoustic instrumentation including piano and percussion with glitchy electronic elements. Inspired bythelikes of Portishead, Elliot Smith and James Blake, Douglas combines a rich and haunting vocal with lyrics crafted from hisownpoems and short prose.
Early reviews of his debut album champion it's originality with The Quietus quoted as saying, "it's bittersweet, raw andhonest..."and The Guardian calling it, 'distinctive and strikingly new.'. « hide |
