Douglas Dare - music from the heavens

This week I’m a fan of Douglas Dare. A singer/songwriter with modest attitude and easy on the eyes.





We use various props and ways to communicate with the world around us. We use them to share our love, pain, hatred etc… All the emotions over all. Douglas Dare is someone who feels your emotions and touches the core of your being. Helps you heal and wishes for the best.
He has a great energy that pulls you to his inner works and understandings where you look around and be grateful for all the butterfly effects that have brought you to the second you are now.





Without further ado, here is a great artist:




Singer/songwriter Douglas Dare grew up in the small coastal town of Bridport in South West England.

Encouraged by his mother, a piano teacher, he began composing music at a young age but didn’t take up songwriting until 2008 while at University in Liverpool. His elegantly moody, piano-based songs and haunting voice drew comparisons to artists like Thom Yorke and James Blake and eventually attracted the attention of London indie label Erased Tapes who specialise in releasing avant-garde music. After relocating to London, he signed with Erased Tapes and they issued his first EP Seven Hours in September 2013. An extensive tour with label mate and similarly experimental artist Ólafur Arnalds followed before he returned home to begin work on his debut full-length. Collaborating with percussionist and producer Fabin Prynn, Dare crafted the dark, intimate ten song album Whelm, released in May 2014. 









The concert I went to took place at Salon IKSV. Some sneak preview:
