Somewhere at the darkest fringe of the griot tradition exists B. Dolan, effortlessly shifting shape between poet, musician, clown, activist and performance artist. Since 2001, a series of gritty, spectacular performances have earned Dolan considerable notoriety; both for their controversial and challenging subject matter, and the brutal intensity with which they are delivered. "The Failure," Dolan's debut release, represents the most comprehensive collection of his recordings, works, and performances to date. Track Listing: 1. Generator 2. Still Electric 3. Knock Knock 4. Heart Failure feat. Sage Francis 5. The Skycycle Blues 6. Return To The Air 7. Joan Of Arcadia 8. Bombzo For Baghdad 9. The Crow On The Riddle feat. Between The Pine 10. You Seem Strange... 11.
