Brendan Perry Going Soph

It is Perry's first studio album in eleven years. As one half of Dead Can Dance for nearly three decades, Brendan's music remains highly regarded and influential on a global scale helping to redefine new musical genres.

"I am delighted to have found a suitable US label in The End Records and look forward to a long and fruitful partnership with them," Perry said.

Recorded in his studio in Ireland, Ark is a solo album in the truest sense, with Brendan playing every instrument, writing all the lyrics and being the sole creative force across the eight tracks. Most of the instrumentation on Ark is derived from samples and synthesisers, and is predicated on a theory of creating ambient, almost soundtrack based accompaniment to the lyricism of the songs. In its range of influences, the album also encompasses music from all four corners of the globe to create a global soundtrack for global themes.
