Irish singer/songwriter Perry Blake releases DOASG - his first new album in 3 years,
since the critically acclaimed ‘Songs of Praise’ (5 Star MOJO)
It features 9 brand new compositions and features the critically acclaimed single Death of A Society Girl featuring actor Paul McGann….
Original artwork by Syrian born artist – Helen Abbas who's artwork was used on Songs of Praise & New Years Wish releases...
Perry has been compared to Scott Walker, Leonard Cohen and David Bowie - but his music is hard to categorise.
DOSG has traces of Perry’s previous heady work - not dissimilar to his French Top 40 debut Perry Blake. But this record is a major leap into 2019 and finds Perry at the height of his powers.
It features the epic single of the week in Music Week – Death of A Society Girl featuring actor - Paul McGann (Withnail & I/Dr.Who)
His first 2 singles, The Hunchback of San Francisco were Jo Whiley singles of the week on BBC Radio 1 in the UK… Over the last 20 years, on 8 classic albums, Perry has worked with some extraordinary talent such as… Marco Sabiu (Tanita Tikaram, Francoise Hardy, Ennio Morricone & Pavarotti) Toby Pitman (Paul McCartney, George Michael, David Arnold, Clint Mansell, Shirley Bassey) Steve Jansen (Japan, Rain Tree Crow) Graham Murphy (Clannad, Sharon Shannon, Marie Brennan) Neil Conti (David Bowie/Prefab Sprout) Glenn Garrett
Blake sounds like a cross between Bowie and Michael Nyman – only better” (UNCUT)
A fine songwriter with a great voice – a little Blake goes a long way” (Sunday Times UK)
“A star is born” (Les Inrockuptibles)
Perry Blake, is one of music’s great untapped resources. (Music OMH)
''Songs of Praise has an unsettling, almost Orwellian feel and along the way we can luxuriate in Perry Blake's generous, comforting voice – spotting traces of Nick Drake, trip hop and Gary Numan’’ – MOJO*****
'Songs of Praise is a resilient rebirth’’ - The Observer *****
Copies sent to MOJO, Record Collector, Uncut, The Wire, Music Week

I have to restrain myself from being too effusive about 'Anyway, Still'. This is truly unique music of beautiful, beguiling power which resonates long after each listen. A true gift. I'll be eagerly awaiting all subsequent releases. Thank you Exit North. musicconnection
