Our Take

Richard Dawson's latest album, "The Ruby Cord," is a wild ride through a sonic landscape that is as unpredictable as the man himself. Dawson's unique blend of folk, experimental, and avant-garde sounds is on full display here, creating an album that is as haunting as it is beautiful.

From the opening track, "Civil Servant," Dawson immediately draws you in with his raw, emotive vocals and intricate guitar work. The songs on "The Ruby Cord" are like musical journeys, taking the listener on a rollercoaster of emotions and sonic textures.

Dawson's lyrics are as poetic as they are thought-provoking, with themes ranging from personal introspection to socio-political commentary. In tracks like "Jogging," Dawson explores the mundanity of everyday life, while in "Two Halves," he delves into the complexities of relationships.

The instrumentation on this album is truly something to behold, with Dawson experimenting with a wide range of instruments, from acoustic guitar to electronic samples. The production is top-notch, with every sound meticulously crafted to create a rich, immersive listening experience.

Overall, "The Ruby Cord" is a testament to Richard Dawson's talent as a musician and storyteller. It is an album that demands your attention and rewards repeated listens. So sit back, press play, and let Dawson take you on a musical journey like no other.
