Daniel Avery Unveils New Single / Video, “The Ghost Of Her Smile” with Julie Dawson of NewDad

Revered producer and composer Daniel Avery shares “The Ghost Of Her Smile,” the latest single from his forthcoming studio album, Tremor, out October 31st via Domino. The track sees Avery join forces with Julie Dawson of Irish alt-rock outfit NewDad, blending his signature distortion and transcendental noise with Dawson’s ethereal vocal presence to create a moment of fragile euphoria.

Speaking on the track, Avery explains: “The longer I live with Tremor, the more this track feels like a shining light on the horizon after a night in the fog. I’ve been a fan of NewDad from the moment I heard them – one of those stop what you’re doing and turn up the radio moments – so I’m truly excited to have Julie Dawson on this record. To me Julie is the embodiment of a modern rock star: enigmatic and formidable yet utterly beguiling. Her energy, her light, make the world of Tremor shine for everyone to see.”

Tremor is Avery’s most ambitious and transportive body of work to date. The record channels every corner of his sound: euphoric shoegaze, submerged techno, ambient soundscape and industrial bliss, while remaining unmistakably his own. Across its widescreen arc, Avery welcomes an inspiring cast of collaborators including Walter Schreifels (Quicksand / Rival Schools), bdrmm, yeule, Ellie, Art School Girlfriend, yunè pinku, and more.

Introduced earlier this year with lead single “Rapture In Blue” featuring SOPHIE collaborator Cecile Believe and Ride’s Andy Bell, Tremor is a communal project built on spirit and connection. Last month, Avery released second single “Greasy Off The Racing Line,” a dream collaboration with Alison Mosshart of The Kills and one of the album’s most vital moments. “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.”

Marking his debut on Domino, the album was mixed by Alan Moulder (Smashing Pumpkins, Nine Inch Nails) and David Wrench (FKA twigs, Frank Ocean), and mastered by Heba Kadry – each vital to the creative fabric of the record.

A new live show will launch with Tremor, culminating with a sold out show at London’s prestigious Barbican on November 8th. A full list of EU/UK tour dates is below and tickets for remaining dates are available here.
