Utopia Defeated
D.D Dumbo
Oliver Hugh Perry constructed this entire project primarily utilizing his vocal range and a twelve-string electric instrument. The result is a restless, changing record that feels like a dream, shifting from tribal beats to soaring pop melodies.
Captured in a remote part of Australia, the recording reflects a raw, solitary focus that resists easy labeling. It is a study in layering, where basic loops grow into sophisticated, art-rock structures that seem both ancient and forward-thinking.
