Yesterday saw 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.

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.

The tour comes to City Varieties in Leeds on 28th April.
