I’m so proud of my new album BEING SOMEWHERE, set for release on October 28. This work feels beyond anything I’ve touched. Exclusive pre-order merch bundles are now available and the new single JUST KNOW IT is out today! Hit my bio link. 571 emails. 100+ hours on the phone and thousands of text messages. A mere 3 days spent in-person together over two and a half years of long-distance work. This is how Drew Brown (@Radiohead, @Beck) and I created Being Somewhere. All components were recorded in isolation and beamed up to the mothership. No piece of the puzzle ended up as expected, and each moment is the fruition of separate, yet conjoined, rabbit holes. I believe Being Somewhere forges sonics well beyond the tropes of modern folk music. Helming the project from Chicago, Drew sourced musical contributions from all over North America and the UK, including work from @joeywaronker (Beck, Atoms for Peace), @reallyjasonfalkner (Beck, @st_vincent), @tingalayo (@TheNational, @TaylorSwift), @Dave_Okumu_ (@Arlo.Parks, @Adele), @maryoverthere (@KurtVile, @sharonvanhalen), & @brokensocialscene frontman @kevinselection These songs... they’re meant to arm the rebels in the crusade for tenderness. This record is a combative plea for mercy from a manic world and its effects on the psyche. I wanted this album to feel like the inside crook of a familiar elbow on the nape of your neck, a comforting embrace. I hope it unfurls like an overdue conversation with a dear friend. I also understand that this music demands something of the listener. It can feel scattered at first glance, but when it comes into focus, it is an assault of carefully placed hooks. Considering the modern context in which music is released and the manic 8-seconds-of-watchtime-or-die algorithmic deflation of our collective attention span, it’s a little terrifying to release this in 2022. But ALL of my favourite albums required time and consideration. Their potency was not abridged. Kid A confused me for weeks until it didn’t. And so, I am hopeful. Nothing else sounds like this. Drew Brown is a wizard. He’s Gandalf. He even took the cover photo. All my love, Dan
