2020 (Richard Dawson album)
2020 is a studio album by avant-garde folk musician Richard Dawson, released on 11 October 2019 by Domino Recording Company. Like its 2017 predecessor, Peasant, each song on the album is from the perspective of a different fictional narrator. Through these individual perspectives, 2020 explores the broad social attitudes and anxieties of modern British citizens. The album's press release describes Britain as "an island country in a state of flux; a society on the edge of mental meltdown".
