Brendan Perry (born 30 June 1959 in Whitechapel, London) was half of one
of the most successful and enduring acts in 4AD's history: Dead Can
Dance. He spent 16 years searching the world for meaning and knowledge
through music in partnership with Lisa Gerrard, then turned his
attention to a solo record which would continue this exploration.
Although Eye Of The Hunter was released in October 1999, Brendan
began work on the album while Dead Can Dance were still active - the
idea was inspired, in part, by his incredible solo performance during
4AD's 13 Year Itch celebrations at the ICA in 1993. Boasting lush
production sensibilities and a boundary-defying spirit, Eye Of The
Hunter offered an immediate familiarity to fans of Dead Can Dance's
unique soundworld. But there were difference in the manner the music was
made, and also how it was presented. Though Dead Can Dance employed
vocals, the duo's goal was to express emotions beyond language. Their
recording process was also open to improvisation, Brendan and Lisa
letting the music lead them to its destination. In contrast, Eye Of The
Hunter's vignettes were written - crafted - using a more traditional
singer / songwriter process. The music, centered around Brendans
thoughtful and restrained guitar playing, provided a backdrop for his
deep, gentle vocals. And while much of Dead Can Dance's work eluded
categorisation, Brendan embraced it, making a folk record in the
truest sense: these songs - each one its own story but each also
contributing to an overall theme - were rooted in his life experiences.
