Since 2013, London-based artist Douglas Dare has blurred classical, chamber-pop, folk and avant-garde to dazzling effect, with a startling voice that can stop you in your tracks.

It’s no surprise therefore, that he’s played with luminaries like Nils Frahm, Perfume Genius and Ólafur Arnalds, and was selected by David Lynch and The Cure’s Robert Smith for their respective cultural festivals in Manchester (MIF) and London (Meltdown).

Douglas’s fourth album, Omni, is a bold rebirth. Embracing ecstasy and euphoria, he decided to step away from acoustic instruments, swapping them for synths and drum machines. Label mate Daniel Brandt (of Brandt Brauer Frick) appears on production duties and the beat on ‘Mouth to Mouth’ is the handiwork of Rival Consoles. The exceptional ‘Teach Me’, meanwhile, was made with long standing collaborator and 4AD’s in-house producer, Fabian Prynn.
