Albums of the Year - Staff Picks 2018

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. ··

LP - Standard Heavyweight Black Vinyl housed in Gatefold Sleeve.

LP+ - 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.
