Dean Blunt unveils a live experience that reconfigures the perceptions. Reports from recent shows bear witness to the show’s power and game changing code-breaking.
His latest album The Redeemer has stealthly crawled high into people’s conciousness. Released on his World Music imprint in 2013 to acclaim, gossip and surprise, it continued the noirish undercover nightwork of his output with Hype Williams and Inga Copeland but lifted the veil of hiss and murk that characterised his previous work, to reveal a highly charged clarity that stood firm, waiting to be discovered. The record is both unreservedly iconic yet so slight of hand that you keep finding new pockets which have been picked. The page turning narrative(s), lush songnik undercurrents and slow burning interior fireworks have captured the watchers’ imaginations and established it as a major piece of right here, right now folk-art.
The live show riffs off this, playing with the album’s beautifully dark, twisted realities, layers and mazes . Dean Blunt on stage creates new portals to fall into and peaks of unshackled synthetic emotional overdrive, cut through with heartbreak and vine.
“Dream logic is one of the hardest things to replicate in art, but Blunt is an expert, shifting through his ballads and undulating rap tracks with 45-degree turns that double back on themselves until you no longer know where you are” - The Guardian
“Since The Redeemer’s release earlier this year it’s felt like an instant classic, with repeated listens only strengthening its aura of nocturnal mystique and outsider hooks” - The Quietus
“A dizzying collage of chamber-pop, junkyard noise and ambient music that invites you into its world but bristles when you get too close. We’ve never heard a heartbreak album quite like it.” - FACT (#1 Album of 2013)

Support on the night comes from Paddy Shine, founding member of Manchester's psychedelic drone legends GNOD. Raving meditation in the best outsider tradition.
