London-based artist Dean Blunt recently released his first official solo LP, The Redeemer, via his own World Music imprint and Hippos in Tanks. Now Blunt shares a new song "Felony / Stalker 7" which builds thematically upon The Redeemer. Dean Blunt has also announced a very rare US performance which will take place on June 29th in Los Angeles with members of The South Central Gospel Choir backing him.

The Redeemer is a profound artistic statement as singular as it is somehow familiar, its strange, bruised grandeur rising from a disorientating swirl of contradictory emotion, the curse of love. Blunt evokes bygone memories, from first kisses to humiliation and heartache, be it as the heartbreaker or the heartbroken, and with the acknowledgement that sometimes the two can exist in the same person.
 
This is undoubtedly Blunt's most romantic collection of compositions, but it's a love that dwells in nightmares as well as in dreams. The listener becomes the character in Blunt's unflattering romance, receiving scorned voicemail messages and whispers from lovers. Musically, the nineteen pieces found on The Redeemer are replete with vivid mosaics of sound and imagery: orchestral sonatas drift into ravaged 4am ballads and feral psychedelia, and Blunt comes clearly into frame as a songcrafter of poise and assurance. Sonically and lyrically, The Redeemer captures the essence of modern romance: delusional, infatuated and all-consuming.
