Utopia Defeated, the first album from D.D Dumbo, the Castlemaine-based solo project of Oliver Hugh Perry, arrived in October 2016 through Liberation Music in Australia and New Zealand and 4AD everywhere else. 4AD had signed him after a trip to South by Southwest, and he recorded the album over the winter of 2015.
It's a strange, shimmering thing: looping guitars, off-kilter rhythms, and Perry's voice stretching into unexpected shapes over songs that twist just when you expect them to settle. "Satan" and "Walrus" were the tracks that broke through, and "Satan" went on to win Song of the Year at the 2017 APRA Music Awards. FasterLouder, Rolling Stone Australia and AllMusic all praised the album, the J Awards named it Australian Album of the Year, and the 2017 ARIA Awards nominated Perry for Producer of the Year and Engineer of the Year.
