grace, doubt and sabotage

'deft deconstructionsa performer that commands attentionintense and revealing' argus

mute swimmer is the principal musical project of the berlin based british artist guy dale. with a changing cast of collaborators and players he has described the project as being 'governed by grace, doubt and sabotage'. as fascinated with extending the songwriting form as he is in dismantling it - his songs are approached with the tactics of an artist. intense, poignant and ironically funny by turns mute swimmer create beguiling music hewn from disparate strands of art, folk music and alternative rock in singular fashion.
