Rather than bathing in the neon-lit future of ‘Blade Runner’ or ‘2001’s bright white light, Dawson’s epic vision for time-yet-to-come is the harrowing regression of ‘Threads’, a return to the land, to old Albion.

It’s a stupendous monument that merges the epic with the nitty & the gritty.
These seven tracks plunge us into an unreal, fantastical and at times sinister future where social mores have mutated, ethical and physical boundaries have evaporated. a place where you no longer need to engage with anyone but yourself and your own imagination. It’s a leap into a future that is well within reach, in some cases already here. Pop in your earpiece, close your eyes and embrace the wonders (and horrors) of augmented reality and prepare to travel 500 years into the future as Richard Dawson returns with…'The Ruby Cord'.

"It truly feels like his most expansive, biggest record yet (the first track alone literally surpasses the 40-minute mark), but it’s the variety of musical vistas he leads us through that set this out as a truly special album from him. Mesmerising pools of ambience give way to chaotic ensemble choruses & hook-ridden, off-kilter folk-pop songs, & I’ve never heard anything quite like it." - Fergus
