Caroline is the lead single from new EP, 'Caroline/If Only' OUT NOW!

iTunes:  http://snip.ftpromo.net/dditunes
Erased Tapes: http://www.erasedtapes.com/store/index/ERATP063

London-based singer-songwriter Douglas Dare releases new EP, following on from his debut album Whelm. Named after album track Caroline and new track If I Knew I Were Alive, it also features remixes by fellow label mate Ryan Lee West aka Rival Consoles and Houndstooth’s own electronic producer Ross Tones aka Throwing Snow.
Caroline has always been a precious track for Douglas, one of the first tracks he recorded and a story in which he imagines his grandfather is writing to a loved one during the war. As the only song on his debut album that is stripped down to just his voice and piano playing, and it being a favourite amongst fans at his concerts, it was a natural choice as a first single.

Caroline

It's been countless days, since last we wrote
And countless more, since last we wrote
But now that's all that remains
The letters that make up your name
And I used to see every line that crossed 
Your face, but now the lines are lost
In stories told and I've grown old
Let me read again the letters that you sent

Caroline wrote to me
Every day of that July
But now that's all I have left
Just thirty-one pages of Caroline

I waited all that time for you
To write be back, to write a new
Verse of our love but it never came
Just hoped my Caroline was safe
And just as I had always feared
Your precious words they disappeared 
In to my mind as I went blind
Let me read again the letters that you sent

Caroline wrote to me
Every day of that July
But now that's all I have left
Just thirty-one pages of Caroline

To pick them up might cut my hands
And blind me 
To pick them up might cut my hands
And blind me

Let me read again the letters that she sent

Berlin-based composer and producer Artur Sommerfeld – aka sommerfeld – is busy creating a niche in the German capital. But not in the most obvious way. Forging his own path beyond the city’s well-trodden techno trails, sommerfeld’s reduced style cross-steps ambient, experimental and even the outright cinematic.

Having had an intrigue in music sparked at an early age, the first instrument sommerfeld set out to learn was the piano. Without doubt, all the other instrument’s the young producer has mastered since centre on pianism; it’s the pole around which everything else circles. As his maiden mix for Plug & Lay signals, sommerfeld’s sound effortlessly scales a multitude of genres. Yet his improvisational approach always starts with the keys.

Over the next hour, lay down and join sommerfeld on a foray through his unique musical machinations. Following the first five tunes, which make up his upcoming EP, sommerfeld takes you on a melodic voyage that spans everything from triphop to neoclassical. Clearly a product of a person with an outright appetite for tunes, it’s there to be savoured.

Douglas Dare's third and most stripped back album to date, 'Milkteeth', is out now. Produced by Mike Lindsay, founding member of Tunng and one half of LUMP with Laura Marling, the BBC 6 Music Album Of The Day 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.
