"Writings of a Letter" by DANE-O
Feature
For those of you who are looking forwards to seeing DANE-O perform at the ‘Hot Music Live Presents' fundraiser for The Tin on April 10th alongside Duke Keats, Reign The Girl Band and Shanade, the release of his latest single "Writings of a Letter" (the follow up to "Spoken Word") will be pleasing.
This one may surprise those familiar with his releases to date: but that's a good thing surely. In fact as he gears up for his debut album, DANE-O is keen to make it clear that his music has range and so this single will help prepare you for the mix to come.
It nevertheless shares much of the intensity of his other songs and while swapping to synths certainly shifts the sound from the acoustic guitar used last time, the unwillingness to compromise on his vision also remains. We have layers of overlapping voices & instruments creating a dense collage here & if DANE-O prefers to prioritise the integrity of his conception over more mainstream approaches, he also shows respect for his audience in setting them challenges of unpicking (should they wish to) the strands of meaning & intention.
Tickets for April 10th to hear this music live are available in advance (saving you money on the door price) via:
