Why do we like this?
Here's your heads-up of the month: Douglas Dare's debut album Whelm from Erased Tapes is dropping later this spring. Drowned in Sound called him a "bright new talent," and listening to this album makes it hard to argue with that claim.

According to Douglas, this is a record that allows listeners to escape, ""something lush and immersive but when looked at closely, the grit and depth could be found." It's a bit of a heart-tearer, an almost gaunt and haggard atmosphere that effuses out of a perfect grand piano. Lyrically, the album is apparently written from other people's perspectives, with songs stemming from a number of historical events. His vocals capture the eerie emotion of the concept.

Whelm will be released in May. Follow Erased Tapes on SoundCloud to listen to tracks as they come out.
