2020 was a surreal year. 'An Hour is a Sea' was released amidst the initial chaos in May,  and I hope it provided some solace for folk. Sadly no live gigs obviously, but that should happen when things eventually settle down. Big thanks for the support, it means a lot. Stay safe and look out for each other in 2021. x 

Dear Friends,

'An Hour is a Sea' is released today.

LP and DL available at:

https://dextro.bandcamp.com/ and https://invertedgrim-millrecordings.bandcamp.com/ and from all good record stores.

The album is also available from all the usual music streaming and download platforms.

Be well.

Thanks to Ali Welford and NARC. Magazine for the chat about the new record 'An Hour is a Sea'. Read it here.

Dear Friends,

A video to accompany Part I of the new release 'An Hour is a Sea' is now up at YouTube. Hopefully this can provide a window into the natural world and some of the headspaces that we can't readily access right now.

Be well and look after one another,
Dextro.

Some thoughts on the Loscil and Dextro live show from Ali Welford; 

Thanks to all who came down to the show at the North of England Institute of Mining and Mechanical Engineers last night. Nice work On The Bridges for putting it on. A great night and it was cool to play with the wonderful Loscil.
