**Dean McPhee** is a UK-based guitarist whose work draws on dub, British folk, underground electronic music and psychedelic rock. Performing on electric guitar through an expansive pedalboard routed into a valve amplifier and 18" subwoofer, his live sets unfold in real time, building dense, rhythmic compositions from minimal elements.
His latest album *Astral Gold* received widespread critical acclaim from The Quietus, Uncut, Aquarium Drunkard, MOJO and Loud and Quiet. His sixth album, Northern Earth, was recently released on limited cassette and is out now on LP/digital.
McPhee has toured throughout the UK and Europe, opening for artists including Thurston Moore, Acid Mothers Temple, Michael Chapman, Wolf People, The Magic Band, Emeralds and Ex-Easter Island Head.
*A masterclass in immersive, hypnotic guitar music. Essential.*
