There's a lot to be said about self indulgent music. It's honest. It's unpretentious. It's appealing to the ears, mind and soul. Daniel G.

There are few words, but they do say quite a lot. Also featured on this album is the talent of Graig Markel (cello), who also produced the album. Fans of artists such as Red House Painters, Mark Lanegan and Elliot Smith should really enjoy kicking back to Daniel G. Harmann.

If you like Red House Painters, Kings of Convenience or such bands then this should be of great interest to you.
