Every single influence from the last decade spent on the road plays a part. “I’m working with an entirely new world of sound on this record. In creating 'Ultra Truth', Daniel Avery went back to many of the things that had inspired him to first make music as a teenager - pensive, emotive records by Deftones, Portishead, Nick Cave or Mogwai, the exquisite darkness of David Lynch’s movies and - on tracks like Devotion and Higher - the thunderous energy of leftfield rave music. Ultra Truth is a distorted fever dream of a record: riled, determined and alive.” I’m no longer dealing in a misty-eyed euphoria. This is an intentionally heavy and dense album, the hooks often hidden in dusty corners.
There’s a way through these times but it involves keeping the important people in your life close to you and navigating the noise together. You can then select photos, audio, video, documents or anything else you want to send.

My previous albums have all focused on the idea of music being an escape or a distraction from the world but that’s not the case this time. “Ultra Truth finds me in a different place to where I’ve been before. It inhabits its own world of sound, a construct built in his Thames side studio with collaborative help from a host of friends: the production touch of Ghost Culture and Manni Dee, the vocals of HAAi, Jonnine Standish (HTRK), AK Paul and the voices of Marie Davidson, Kelly Lee Owens, Sherelle and James Massiah. 'Ultra Truth' offers a very different listening experience to any of Daniel Avery’s previous records. Daniel Avery announces his most ambitious and accomplished studio album to date, 'Ultra Truth', out 4th November 2022 on clear vinyl, CD and cassette.
