Anastasis

Released

Following some years of solo work, with Lisa Gerrard notably working on many soundtracks and collaborative albums, Dead Can Dance first reunited in the mid-2000s for a well-received series of live shows and then formally returned to the studio for 2012’s Anastasis, their first album not released by 4AD. Continuing in the less melodramatic, steadier vein that they found themselves at by the late 1990s, Gerrard and Brendan Perry remain in fine voice, her rich range and his ear for deep command working both individually and blended, as on “Return of the She-King.”
