- Douglas Dare is a London-based singer-songwriter, originally from the coastal town of Bridport, South West England. Douglas’ rich and haunting vocals are combined with lyrics crafted from his own poems and short prose, a writing style that gives his..'I wanted to make a record that would allow the listener to escape, something lush and immersive but when looked at closely, the grit and depth could be found. I didn’t write the record with a concept in mind but when thinking of titles I found this through-line; I realised the restless nature of humans and the erratic emotions I’d written about could be linked to water and more specifically the sea. I grew up in the coastal town of Bridport, Dorset; the sea was this constant thing in my life. And although I felt an affinity with it, I couldn’t swim until I was a teenager. This equal measure of joy and uncertainty I found in both people and water brought me to Whelm; it feels like a fitting title. To be engulfed. To be buried. To be whelmed.’ – Douglas Dare 'Hard to argue with this kind of emotional resonance' – Under The Radar 'These haunted, cloudy meditations certainly mark him out as a bright new talent, and Seven Hours is a formidable opening gambit.' – 8/10 Drowned In Sound 'Young singer-songwriter shows maturity far beyond his years' – Bearded Magazine 'A fresh singer/songwriter whose poetic piano playing remind us of Perfume Genius' – Indie Shuffle 'The opposite of a fanfare arrival, and all the more powerful for it – 8/10 The Line Of Best Fit 'Very strange and wonderful... One to watch' – Mary Anne Hobbs, BBC 6 Music̸Whelm (LP, 2014) Erased Tapes Seven Hours (EP, 2013) Erased Tapes
