Fear Rua is Dylan Murphy, a multi-instrumentalist born and raised in Bristol, RI. Now residing in the nearby town of Warren, Dylan uses Fear Rua to create ambient, psychedelic soundscapes inspired by artists such as Brian Eno, Miles Davis, and the Grateful Dead. However, the intense, glitchy electronic synthesis that characterizes the Fear Rua sound has been likened to the music of artists such as Aphex Twin and the avant-pop collective The Residents.
