About Dead Can Dance
Formed in 1981, Dead Can Dance is an Australian-British musical project in Melbourne by Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry. Australian music historian Ian McFarlane described Dead Can Dance's style as "constructed soundscapes of mesmerising grandeur and solemn beauty; African polyrhythms, Gaelic folk, Gregorian chant, Middle Eastern mantras, and art rock." They disbanded in 1998 but they released a new album in 2018.
