Ark

Brendan Perry formed Dead Can Dance in late 1981. The band released a total of nine albums including a live concert video album over a period of sixteen years to considerable and critical acclaim. Dead Can Dances music often suggested a search for meaning and sense in the world and Brendan has taken up a similar journey in his solo work. But instead of looking at the external world, he has decided to explore the inner world of his own private universe. In 2005 Brendan and Lisa briefly reformed Dead Can Dance for a final farewell world tour accompanied by a 40 piece chamber orchestra conducted by Jeff Rona. Two new songs were written especially for this tour, "Babylon" an indictment of the US political war machine and "Crescent" a life affirming ode to nature and the human spirit. Studio versions of these songs appear on Brendan's new album ARK, which is his first solo release since 1999s EYE OF THE HUNTER.
