The Profile

Dalis Car was a British collaboration between Peter Murphy (Bauhaus) and Mick Karn (Japan). They released the album The Waking Hour in 1984 and later the EP InGladAloneness (2012).

Formed by Peter Murphy (vocals) and Mick Karn (multi-instrumentalist). Released The Waking Hour (1984); the only single was The Judgement Is The Mirror. The album underperformed commercially and was later reissued on CD. Sessions decades later led to the EP InGladAloneness (2012).

Dalis Car is the British collaboration of Peter Murphy and Mick Karn. The Waking Hour (1984) blends fretless bass, atmospheric electronics, and world music hues with Murphy’s theatrical vocals. The review highlights dreamlike, grotesque moods and points to Moonlight as a peak, while noting the lone single The Judgement Is The Mirror and modest sales. Recommended for fans of Bauhaus and Japan.
