FATIMA'S HAND

Fatimas Hand is West Yorkshire based solo electric guitarist Dean McPhees second full-length album and the follow up to 2011s critically acclaimed Son of the Black Peace (PTYT 047). Fatimas Hand is a meditative and quietly intense album combining influences from British folk, dub, Moroccan trance and ambient/drone. McPhees sparse, melodic and echo-laden guitar playing on Fatimas Hand has been compared to Vini Reilly, Fripp & Eno and Loren Connors but his singular approach to the instrument is very much his own. Steve Barker of BBC Radio Lancashires On the Wire program described Dean as quot;definitely one of the leading contemporary guitar stylists in the UK, and in the worldquot. Fatimas Hand features cover art by Federico Cortese which is beautifully presented on a matte laminate sleeve.
