'deft deconstructions…a performer that commands attention…intense and revealing' argus

grace, doubt and sabotage

mute swimmer is a moniker of british songwriter and visual artist guy dale. he has described his work as being 'governed by grace, doubt and sabotage'. dale is as fascinated with stretching the songwriting form as he is in dismantling it. as such he approaches the song with the tactics of a performance artist taking the process of writing and the moment of performance itself as a subject. romantic, ironic and hauntingly melancholic by rapid turns he has quickly earned a reputation as a compelling live performer.

the single song against itself / some examples is now available on itunes and  7" vinyl through bleeding heart recordings., rough trade and piccadilly records where it was a single of the week. other releases include mute swimmer / mute swimmer (2010) on woodland recordings. he also makes experimental sound works under the name dala. he is currently based in berlin.
