dMh, aka David Morley Hale pays homage to bands hailing from the upper reaches of the British Isles on 11-track project Songs From The North. A sonic journey that treats us to rich interpretations of tracks from the likes of Joy Division, The Human League and Oasis, the project brims with a DIY passion.
Transforming well-loved hits into intricate re-imaginings, the tracks are rooted in respect for the original while still leaning into touches of experimentation to make for a refreshing yet nostalgic listening experience.
Speaking of the album development, dMh says, “The idea for this album came whilst tinkering with a version of She's Lost Control by the famously northern Joy Division, and having previously released a couple of singles which were covers of songs from other bands with connections to the northern reaches of the UK (Jethro Tull, Blackpool, and The Fall, Manchester), plus having recorded many years earlier an unreleased version of Come Together by four scousers, I realised I was possibly subconsciously working my way to an album's worth of covers by northern bands, and so being a northerner myself (Preston) decided it would be fun to actually complete the task and find a bunch more northern songs to be subjected to varying degrees of mutilation.”
A constant creative force who has engaged in various other projects over the years, dMh allows us to sink into an immersive sonic world that constant surprises us.
