Milkteeth
English songsmith Douglas Dare returns with his third and most stripped back studio album to date, Milkteeth, released on 21 February 2020 with Erased Tapes. Produced by Mike Lindsay — founding member of Tunng and one half of LUMP with Laura Marling — in his studio in Margate in just twelve days, Milkteeth sees Douglas become confident and comfortable enough with his own identity to reflect on both the joys and pains of youth. In doing so, he has established himself as a serious 21st century singer-songwriter with an enduring lyrical poise and elegant minimalist sound.
On his third and richest album, the English singer-songwriter probes the mysteries of childhood, family, and memory.
Elegant and delicately layered, Douglas Dare's Milkteeth – a bittersweet nostalgia album his youth – feels grandiose despite its minimalism.
