To celebrate the release of his second album, Elliott Dawson returns with a new live arrangement to wow and excite. 

Recorded and produced in Wellington throughout 2023 and produced by James Goldsmith (DARTZ, Wiri Donna, Recitals) Certain Death is a cinematic autobiography of the period immediately following the full development of Dawson’s pre-frontal cortex. Having reached the peak of his brain growth, Dawson leaves behind the abrasive time signatures and penis jokes of his debut Hang Low, to bring us something equally chaotic, but infinitely more refined. 

On ‘Certain Death’, Dawson is joined by an expanded team of regular Pōneke collaborators such as Olivia Campion (Yumi Zouma, Revulva), Lily Rose Shaw (Revulva, Dawn Diver), Reuben Topzand (Neil MacLeod), Harry Scholes (Wiri Donna, Arjuna Oakes) , Elizabeth Hocking (Revulva, Octopus in Heels), James MacEwan (Wiri Donna, Arjuna Oakes), and Bianca Bailey (Wiri Donna). The expansion in personnel is emblematic of the growth in Dawson’s sound.
