Richard Dawson's 'The Ruby Cord' out today

Today is the release of Richard Dawson’s new album The Ruby Cord via Weird World. It is the final part of a trilogy that started with the pre-medieval world of Peasant, was brought back to the present day with 2020 and - possibly - concludes in the future with Dawson’s seventh studio album. Having not shared any music in advance, the record is now available to stream in full.

Stream The Ruby Cord here.

Dawson previously announced a live date at London’s Barbican Centre for May and is now pleased to confirm a full UK tour for next year. The tour announcement follows the recent cinema screenings of The Hermit, a music video directed by James Hankins of The Ruby Cord’s opening 41-minute track “The Hermit”. Bandcamp will be hosting a special online screening on Tuesday 22nd November. Tune in here.

Richard Dawson The Ruby Cord

Album | 18th November 2022

Pop in your earpiece, close your eyes and embrace the wonders (and horrors) of augmented reality and prepare to travel 500 years into the future as Richard Dawson returns with…The Ruby Cord. These seven tracks plunge us into an unreal, fantastical and at times sinister future where social mores have mutated, ethical and physical boundaries have evaporated; a place where you no longer need to engage with anyone but yourself and your own imagination. It’s a leap into a future that is well within reach, in some cases already here.

  • 2Thicker Than Water
  • 3The Fool
