Delmer Darion

West Midlands-born and London-based experimental electronic producer duo <a href="spotify:artist:2Cy9GUtBDcNq9Uhd9ngXzV" data-name="Delmer Darion">Delmer Darion</a> (Tom Lenton and Oliver Jack) announce details of their second album &#34;Tall Vision-of-the-Voyage&#34;, to be released 15th September 2023.

&#34;Tall Vision-of-the-Voyage&#34; is a collection of stories about human spirit, ambition, and the reckless naivety of great adventures. Written in the spirit of scientific romance, by way of Jules Verne’s Voyages Extraordinaires, it’s an album of two divergent halves. The first half swans through dizzying tales of human achievement backed up by hypnotic blends of shoegaze, ambient, industrial alt-rock and doom-folk as a carousel of vocalists – <a href="spotify:artist:6IiLlRx39JPpIlGG08JIFM" data-name="Kiran Leonard">Kiran Leonard</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:0yBFPjYypBODQ9d8XUXial" data-name="Bingo Fury">Bingo Fury</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6nbtlXRy0S6adYpDVoRdNi" data-name="Anna B Savage">Anna B Savage</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:3lWVgSwutPsiJ8Awm7OTKU" data-name="Slaughter Beach, Dog">Slaughter Beach, Dog</a> – bring their archives to life.

The album’s second half features the band’s most ambitious work to date: an 18-minute spoken word epic rooted in Arthurian legend, about the tragic sinking of the HMY Iolaire off the coast of Stornoway in 1919. Collaborating with Guatemalan-born cellist and composer <a href="spotify:artist:7yHfb2D8qIBgrzclpSsTeo" data-name="Mabe Fratti">Mabe Fratti</a> and award-winning Welsh actor Morfydd Clark, best known for her lead roles in A24’s Saint Maud and the Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power, Delmer Darion’s accounts of heartache and hopelessness hold endless wonder, exploring our relationship with music and literature in times of crisis.

&#34;Tall Vision-of-the-Voyage&#34; is a reckoning of how, in spite of our grand sense of place on Earth and in the universe, nature can still brutalise us.
