Omni | Limited Edition Translucent Red Vinyl

Douglas Dare announces the release of his fourth album Omni - a bold rebirth and embrace of the electronic, and is all at once a throbbing, avant-garde, queer, dark and cinematic record imbued with a love of rave culture. Encouraged by Erased Tapes founder Robert Raths, he decided to step away from acoustic instruments and swapped them for synths and drum machines. His new music has much in common with Arca and the late SOPHIE, two artists for whom self-expression meant liberation. “I got to hang out in the studio with her,” says Douglas of the latter musician, “the way she made music made a big impression on me.” Omni is about reconciling all those different sides of himself – the songwriter, the raver, the lover, the observer. It’s a hugely queer record: seductive, sexy, lusty, untethered from the genre binary. “It’s even got sailors on it!” laughs Douglas. “You don’t get more queer than that.”
