Albums of the Year - Staff Picks 2018

Dead Can Dance is an eclectic musical entity that was formed in Melbourne, Australia in 1981. They were one of the main proponents of the 4AD label throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Although the band split in 1998, they reunited briefly for a world tour in 2005. In winter 2011, *Dead Can Dance* came together once again to record a new album and completed a world tour promoting its release in 2012.

With their unique blend of genres including neoclassical dark wave, ethereal wave, post-punk, and world music influences, Dead Can Dance has captivated audiences worldwide. Their hauntingly beautiful soundscapes have earned them a dedicated fan base.

If you enjoy the music of Brendan Perry or Lisa Gerrard, as well as artists like Irfan, Arcana, Vas, Love Is Colder Than Death, This Mortal Coil, Lycia and more - then Dead Can Dance is sure to be a favorite addition to your collection.

New Wave / Post Punk

Dead Can Dance release Dionysus. Available on Deluxe Version on Exclusive Heavyweight Transparent Purple Vinyl housed in Gatefold Sleeve, accompanied by a CD and deluxe 16-page 12” x 12” hardback picture book with padded cover.

Dead Can Dance return with a new album. The album consists of two acts across seven movements that represent the different facets of the Dionysus myth and his cult and takes the musical form of an oratorio, which has informed both spiritual and secular pieces of music as far back in history as the early 16th century. Two years in the making, Perry has amassed an array of folk instrumentation and as often heard on previous albums takes inspiration from across the world, tracks evolve less like songs more akin to fragments of the cohesive whole. ··
