Debuting in 1991 with the group Public Announcement, Kelly went solo in 1993, starting off a successful career with the release of the album 12 Play. Kelly, is a Grammy award winning American R&B singer-songwriter, rapper, actor and record producer. Things that have been in the back of my mind forever, warped, distorted and pushed to a new place.Robert Sylvester Kelly (born Januin Chicago, Illinois), better known by his stage name R. Every single influence from the last decade spent on the road plays a part. “I’m working with an entirely new world of sound on this record. In creating 'Ultra Truth', Daniel Avery went back to many of the things that had inspired him to first make music as a teenager - pensive, emotive records by Deftones, Portishead, Nick Cave or Mogwai, the exquisite darkness of David Lynch’s movies and - on tracks like Devotion and Higher - the thunderous energy of leftfield rave music.

Ultra Truth is a distorted fever dream of a record: riled, determined and alive.” I’m no longer dealing in a misty-eyed euphoria. This is an intentionally heavy and dense album, the hooks often hidden in dusty corners. There’s a way through these times but it involves keeping the important people in your life close to you and navigating the noise together.

For me this album is about looking directly into the darkness, not running away from it.

My previous albums have all focused on the idea of music being an escape or a distraction from the world but that’s not the case this time. “Ultra Truth finds me in a different place to where I’ve been before. It inhabits its own world of sound, a construct built in his Thames side studio with collaborative help from a host of friends: the production touch of Ghost Culture and Manni Dee, the vocals of HAAi, Jonnine Standish (HTRK), AK Paul and the voices of Marie Davidson, Kelly Lee Owens, Sherelle and James Massiah. 'Ultra Truth' offers a very different listening experience to any of Daniel Avery’s previous records. Daniel Avery's most ambitious and accomplished studio album to date, 'Ultra Truth', is out now on limited edition double white vinyl, CD and blue cassette.
