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 songwriter 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 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. In 2014 Dare released his acclaimed debut Whelm and establishing his musical dexterity on the much darker follow up Aforger in 2016. This was followed by his most stripped back studio album to date, Milkteeth, released in 2020 and produced by Mike Lindsay - founding member of Tunng and one half of LUMP with Laura Marling.
2024 sees Douglas take another creative turn, this time to his beloved dance music. His fourth album, Omni, is a fresh awakening. Encouraged by Erased Tapes founder Robert Raths, he decided to step away from acoustic instruments and swapped them for synths and drum machines. To mark the announcement, Douglas shared the first taster of the record with Mouth to Mouth, a collaboration with label mate Daniel Brandt who appears on production duties, with beats supplied by Rival Consoles.
