On Tremor, Avery has welcomed an inspiring cast of collaborators, including the likes of Alison Mosshart (The Kills), Walter Schreifels(Quicksand / Rival Schools), bdrmm, Julie Dawson (NewDad), yeule, Ellie, Art School Girlfriend, yunè pinku, and Cecile Believe. Each artist leaves their indelible mark, yet the record’s true power lies in the communal spirit at its core.
Channelling every corner of his sound, Tremor is a bold and transportive body of work through euphoric shoegaze, submerged techno, ambient soundscape and industrial bliss. It remains unmistakably Avery, yet dramatically evolved. An immersive and deeply textured journey, Tremor unfolds like a lucid dream—an expansive, collaborative creation.
Revered producer and composer Daniel Avery today announces his ambitious sixth studio album Tremor. Channelling every corner of his sound, the record is a bold and transportive body of work through euphoric shoegaze, submerged techno, ambient soundscape and industrial bliss. It remains unmistakably Avery,yet dramatically evolved. Arriving via his new label home, Domino on October 31st, Tremor is introduced with the release of its lead single ‘Rapture In Blue’, featuring the ethereal vocals of LA-based artist, Cecile Believe.
On Tremor, Avery has welcomed an inspiring cast of collaborators, including the likes of Alison Mosshart (The Kills), Walter Schreifels (Quicksand / Rival Schools), bdrmm, Julie Dawson (NewDad), yeule, Ellie, Art School Girlfriend, yuné pinku, and Cecile Believe. Each artist leaves their indelible mark, yet the record’s true power lies in the communal spirit at its core.
The first taste of that spirit is felt in ‘Rapture In Blue’, a slow-motion breakbeat that lifts Cecile Believe’s otherworldly vocal into the stratosphere while celestial guitars are supplied by Ride legend and current Oasis member Andy Bell. It’s a track that perfectly encapsulates Tremor’s cinematic power and Avery’s mastery of melding ambient beauty with thunderous force.
An immersive and deeply textured journey, Tremor unfolds like a lucid dream—an expansive, collaborative creation. “This is a living and breathing collective,” says Avery. “Since the earliest recordings, Tremor felt like a studio in the sky, a space in time through which we could all pass as artists” he reflects. “It’s the welcoming spirit of acid house with the doors flung open wider still to allow in every influence from my musical journey: the warmth of distortion, the stillness inside intensity, the transcendental beauty of noise… They have always been there in my music but now it feels like those ideas are being transmitted in Technicolor. This is a record for the post-rave comedown kids, the guitar heads and anyone else who wants to come along for the ride. Everyone is welcome.”
Tremor marks Avery’s debut on Domino, one of the most brilliantly free-thinking independent record labels in the world. The album was mixed by sonic visionaries Alan Moulder (Smashing Pumpkins, Nine Inch Nails) and David Wrench (FKA twigs, Frank Ocean), and mastered by Heba Kadry — each a vital pillar of the Tremor creative collective.
A new live show will also debut with the record, the first run culminating at London’s prestigious art space the Barbican on 8th November.
Avery’s work continues to expand across disciplines: from his acclaimed reconstructions of The Cure’s DRONE:NODRONE, to his role in the experimental supergroup Demise of Love alongside Working Men’s Club and Ghost Culture. It follows his previous studio album Ultra Truth, which was widely acclaimed by fans and critics alike.
Tune in, turn it up, embrace the tremors and prepare to leave this place behind.
