Experimental electronic producer duo Delmer Darion are back with news of their sophomore album Tall Vision-of-the-Voyage alongside the new single "White Dawn Fog", which features Anna B Savage.

"White Dawn Fog" is accompanied by a music video which was created by Oliver Jack from the band.

""White Dawn Fog" is about the best and worst of the scientific romance spirit: it’s about flying to the moon and about the ballistic missiles that first crossed the Kármán line, which were a vital step towards the development of spacecraft," says Tom Lenton.

"The track retells an early section of H. G. Wells’ The First Men in the Moon (1901), where two men travel to the moon, find a desolate landscape, and then watch it come to life with strange plants. It transforms towards the end to depict two scenes at once: the beautiful lunar morning in Wells’ book and the V-2 missile strike on the Cine Rex in Antwerp, which was the deadliest single missile strike in the Second World War.”

Tall Vision-of-the-Voyage, the second album by Delmer Darion, is a tale of two halves. The first half swans through tales of human achievement which are brought to life by vocalists Kiran Leonard, Bingo Fury, Anna B Savage and Slaughter Beach, Dog. Meanwhile the second half features the band’s most ambitious work to date: an 18-minute spoken word epic rooted in Arthurian legend, about the tragic sinking of the HMY Iolaire off the coast of Stornoway in 1919.

Collaborating with Guatemalan-born cellist and composer Mabe Fratti and award-winning Welsh actor Morfydd Clark (Saint Maud, Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power, Delmer), "lolaire" sees the band reckon with how, in spite of our grand sense of place on Earth and in the universe, nature can still brutalise us.

Tracklist:

A1. Keohane’s Rhyme (feat. Kiran Leonard)
A2. Sunbeam 1000hp (feat. Bingo Fury)
A3. Half Mile Down (feat. Slaughter Beach, Dog)
A4. White Dawn Fog (feat. Anna B Savage)
B1. Iolaire (feat. Morfydd Clark & Mabe Fratti)

Tall Vision-of-the-Voyage arrives on 15 September via Practise Music.
