With this sixth studio album, Richard Dawson comes full circle, following on from his first solo releases more than a decade ago!
If The Ruby Cord (2022) was a study in lush arrangements and epic, imaginative songwriting, End of the Middle sees Dawson return home both sonically and thematically. The album's focus on everyday domestic stories through the prism of a "typical English middle-class household" is reflected in the sparse
instrumentation - just guitar, drums and vocals - and the gentle, winding melodies. With this album, which follows on from his first solo releases more than a decade ago, Dawson has come full circle: the end of the middle.
