News:

Offstrings: Inventions for Guitar: Complacency Records, the label run by Illusion of Safety's Daniel Burke, will be releasing a compilation LP in conjunction with the July 30th show/mini-festival Offstrings: Inventions for Guitar.  The show (and the compilation) will include work by David Daniell, Mark Shippy (of U.S. Maple), Travis Bird & Daniel Burke, and Michael Vallera. The show will take place on July 30th at the Hideout in Chicago and the LP will be first available then and there.

Fennesz / Daniell / Buck: the trio of Christian Fennesz, Tony Buck (drummer for Australian trio The Necks), and David Daniell premiered at the 2009 Big Ears Festival in Knoxville, Tennessee.  The performance was recorded, and that recording is now going to be available as an LP and CD.  Chicago label Thrill Jockey will be releasing the album, titled Knoxville, in August.

Unsound Festival live recording: The Issue Project and the Free Music Archive have posted an audio stream of the complete 35-minute David Daniell solo performance from the February 12th Unsound Festival night at Brooklyn's Issue Project Room.  Click here to listen ».

Sycamore press: The Line of Best Fit has published a nice review of Sycamore, writing that "this is the Big Music: room-filling swells of sound, at once obviously made from guitars, yet rising beyond the medium to scrape at something else."  There are more great reviews from XLR8R and Exclaim.ca, and an in-depth interview over on Tokafi talking about the making of the album.

New compilation release: The French record label Arbouse Recordings has released a beautiful two-CD compilation, Musique pour statues menhirs, produced in conjunction with the Musée Fenaille in Rodez, France. The compilation features contributions by David Daniell, Fennesz, Greg Davis, John Hughes, Zelienople, Sylvain Chauveau, Mapstation, Mira Calix and many others.

Daniell/McCombs Duo: Sycamore, the debut album of the duo of David Daniell and Douglas McCombs was officially released by the Thrill Jockey record label on August 18th.  The album, a duo with Doug McCombs of Tortoise, Brokeback, Eleventh Dream Day, etc, features drums by Steven Hess, Frank Rosaly, and John Herndon, and artwork by Arik Roper. Igloo Magazine writes, "The album boggles the mind, one instrument producing such a vast, rich variety of sound."

Shop online: You can now buy many David Daniell (and related) releases directly from the discography page. Some of the items there are very hard-to-find these days - some with only one or two copies remaining - so act quickly.  For many of the releases, there are also links which will take you to Klicktrack, the iTunes Music Store, or the Other Music Digital store, where you can purchase MP3s.
