Stephen Mallinder - Um Dada - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Cabaret Voltaire co-founder Stephen Mallinder's second solo outing for Dais further distills his signature fusion of minimal synth, oblique wordplay, and Inchwonky discoInch into a riveting rhythm suite ripe for our Age of Escalation Tick Tick Tick.

He possesses an incredible penchant for identifying and articulating some of the deepest, yet simplest, human emotions, and turning them into beautiful poetry through song. InchThere's no better songwriter on the planet at this moment, no one operating with the same depth, eloquence or feeling,Inch says American Songwriter Magazine. Isbell sings of the everyday human condition with thoughtful, heartfelt, and sometimes brutal honesty, and the new album is no exception.
