Here's why this record is important to me. The last few years have been messy, noisy, chaotic, divisive, exhausting, and fraught with fear, anger, and anxiety — regardless of which side you're on, or which way you're facing. I wanted to write about these years in a way that transcended pithiness, and which tried instead to embrace the full complexity and dimensionality that our issues deserve. I want this record to reach as many listeners as possible, because I want it to have a voice in the telling of the history of this era. And to accomplish that, as an independent artist, I need some resources. That's what the Kickstarter campaign hopes to accomplish. Thank you for your support!

"A Prayer For A Chicken Bone" is one of the two emotional bookends for the record. The other is "A Prayer For The Sane". They are at opposite ends of the spectrum of hope that we might reconcile our culture back to a common shared reality. This is the only overtly political song on the record, and I decided to feature it first as we're approaching the midterm elections. So here's a live version of the song from The Martha Bassett Show.

A huge thank you to my friends at the Welcome To Night Vale podcast for debuting this song as their "weather" in their Halloween episode.

Here's another beautifully-filmed live video from The Martha Bassett Show. "The Day The Corpus Closed" is another new song that we recorded for the new album. This one has to do with the emergence of Artificial Intelligence from the consumption of the complete corpus of human-generated creative output. And what might happen now that it's exhausted that supply of training data. Here's the lyrics if you want to read more. Enjoy the video!

We're thrilled to announce that Danny's seminal album, Parables & Primes has been re-released as a limited edition vinyl print. This album has never been available on vinyl until now. Get yours while they last! Available only from Danny's website store.

We Need A Better Word from the album Standard Deviation was one of the most powerful songs on the record, exploring our complex relationship with miscarriage. Danny wrote an essay diving deeper into his experiences behind the writing of the song. The essay was originally published by Talk House, and is republished here.
