London-based singer-songwriter Douglas Dare is set to release his brand new album Aforger this Friday via Erased Tapes but is now streaming the album in its entirety via SoundCloud. In recent weeks, he’s shared videos and audio for the singles ‘Doublethink,’ ‘Oh Father’ and ‘New York,’ which have all shown off his wider scope and greater use of electronics, as well as the core concepts behind the LP.
Dare says of the record: “The album title plays with the idea of a forger – someone creating imitations or copies, and reimagines them as the creator of something that’s no longer real. Prior to writing the record, I came out to my father and came out of a long relationship, both were hugely challenging for me and questioned my idea of identity and reality. These thoughts leaked out into the record and formed the core of Aforger. I was determined not to write a break-up album or repeat what I’d done before.” Listen below.
Dare has also announced a brand new date at London’s Elektrowerkz on 8th November. Tickets are on sale now.
