About this product
Whether scoring a film or making a solo album, Daniel Davies thinks cinematically. Images and story - on a movie screen, on a canvas, or flashing through his mind - inform the shape of his compositions and the sounds he uses to bring them to life. For Signals, his first solo record for Sacred Bones, the inspiration for his musical narration was a collaboration with visual artist Jesse Draxler, whose otherworldly mixed media works grace the cover and the booklet. InchI had an instant connection to Jesse's art,Inch Davies explains. InchOne of the main concepts for this album was working with the feeling of uncertainty. Jesse's art illustrates that perfectly with his disruptive shapes. At first, they are foreign to the landscapes they live in, but over time we become used to them, we adjust. The foreign objects force us to evolve, to accept and live with the uncertainty they create.Inch Using Draxler's images as his jumping off point, Davies created eight richly textured compositions that created a soundtrack for the unsettling world of the artwork. InchMusically, I wanted to capture that same contrast - melodies evolving out of drones, haunting beds of tension with beautiful shimmering melodies laid above. What were once conflicting emotions became harmonious.Inch As the songs move through the landscape, Davies calls on whatever instrumentation he needs to serve their journey. He utilizes the warbling synths and slicing guitar that have characterized his soundtrack work, but he's also preternaturally at ease when he busts out a harpsichord and a vocal synth on lead single InchPhantom Waltz.Inch On InchDestructive Field,Inch he leaves space for his Halloween collaborator John Carpenter to lay down his signature sound. With the exception of that passage, all the music on the record is recorded by Davies himself. While the results indeed feel cinematic, Davies is liberated

Daniel Seavey / SECOND WIND Multi-platinum singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producerDanielSeaveyhas released his highly anticipated full-length solo debut albumSecond WindviaAtlanticRecords, featuring standout new single InchLose Me Like You Mean It. Inch The 12-track project, executive produced by chart-topping writer/producerMichaelPollack (MileyCyrus, JustinBieber), pulls from Seavey's ultimate early-aughts pop-rock inspirations while exuding optimistic warmth, introspective lyrics and ultimate creative freedom. Second Windmarks a multi-year creative journey, crafting his solo voice and evolving into the artist he was destined to be. 2024 saw Seavey command some of the biggest stages of his solo career, including a festival debut atLollapaloozawhich became amongst the most viral sets of the weekend. Seavey also spent much of the year on the road supportingBenson Boonein the US/UK andDean Lewisacross a widely successful Australia/New Zealand tour during which he previewed the album in real-time including fast fan-favorites including InchGatewayDrug, Inch InchThe Older You GetInch and InchOtherPeople. InchSecond Windis about a boy desperately clinging on to his youth while life is trying to force him to grow up. It's a very light, warm, and slightly introspective album. A 'glass half full' sort of vibe. When I made this album I was going through a very hard time in life for a multitude of reasons. I noticed the second I started making happier songs, my perspective also started to shift outside of the studio. I started becoming optimistic again. I started hearing 'little me' in my music again and I loved that about it. Inch-Daniel Seavey
Mute presents Daniel Avery's new album Together in Static, which is comprised of songs created specifically for live shows, yet developed into an album during the process. Together in Static follows 2020's surprise Love + Light and the collaborative album with Nine Inch Nails keyboardist Alessandro Cortini, Illusion Of Time. InchAs with many things this past year, the project took on a power and a life of it's own right in front of me,Inch Avery says. InchThe original idea was to simply play a couple of small gigs at Hackney Church during the last lockdown. I started to make music specifically for the shows yet, as plans continued to shift, I fell deeper into the waves. I considered a 12Inch or maybe an EP but by the time I came up for air, I realised I had a complete record I wanted to share. I feel it's some of my best work and I'm gassed for you all to hear it.Inch
