Description

Dean McPhee is a solo electric guitarist who combines fluid, chiming melodic lines with shimmering drones and layers of decaying delay and echo. He has a unique style of playing which draws together influences from British Folk, Dub, Kosmische and Mali Blues and his music is hypnotic with a deep sense of space.

?Witch?s Ladder? is his fourth full length album, the follow-up to ?Four Stones? (2018) which introduced a kick drum pulse, hypnotic loops and synth-like Ebow lines to his sparsely meditative, echo-laden solo guitar music. On this new album he uses his Telecaster, valve amp and effects to weave an even deeper spell, as fingerpicked melodies soar over hypnotic riffs, looped basslines and cosmic reverb trails.

Recorded live with no overdubs and inspired by folklore, mysticism and the landscapes of the North of England, ?Witch?s Ladder? represents a significant evolution in his sound, while also retaining the unique sense of depth and space that has drawn comparison with the likes of Loren Connors, Dylan Carlson and Popul Vuh.
