Samuel Kerridge has announced that he is going to collaborate on an album with Taylor Burch from DVA Damas which is to be titled “The Other.” It is the first time that they have worked together on record and it will contain spoken word parts from Burch over Kerridge’s musical arrangements.  Accompanying the album will be an audio visual project by film director Daisy Dickinson which will involve projections on pieces of semi-transparent fabric. See a teaser below:

Says label Downwards, from who the album will be released “The LP is abundant with melody and variation whilst still retaining the physical power and presence.” It follows from an audio-visual collaboration released in 2016 titled “The Mysterious Other” and will be released on May 3rd.

Kerridge is a distinct figure in the noise scene with his signature sonic sounds. His music is to appreciated purely looked at from an individual perspective, as he is an individualist artist.

He generally finds meaning in things that would otherwise be considered illegible, stripping down any kind of meaning to a raw kind of energy. His music is powerful and deconstructs expectations. Whether live or on record the listener is subjected to an ethereal experience. Always evolving, always pushing boundaries.

Burch formed DVA Dama’s with Joe Cocherell. Starting out as her solo project, Chocherell joined in its infancy and the start of a unique musical relationship was born. Their minimal post punk with Spaghetti western twang was soon noticed by Juan Mendez, a collaborator of Karl O’Connor’s who owns DVA’s label Downwards America. He was at their debut live show and offered to put out their first release as part of the labels DO series.

Their debut single was released in 2010 featuring three tracks. In 2011 they released a split with Le Face on Psychic Handshake Recordings. Their debut was released in 2013 for which they toured Europe and America.
