Description
Oliver Perry, a.k.a D.D Dumbo, lives in a small room attached to the side of an old horse stables in rural Victoria, in total vegan heaven – Castlemaine. Recorded in London at 4AD’s studios, thousands of miles from his spartan home studio, Utopia Defeated is his first full-length release, following 2014’s Tropical Oceans EP.
Teased by singles Satan and Walrus, the new LP is a stunningly eclectic, yet somehow familiar body of work that shows off Perry’s skills as a multi-instrumentalist. In just ten tracks he covers a lot of ground, while skilfully maintaining a consistent sound.
