Daniel Martin Moore

Kentucky-based singer/songwriter Daniel Martin Moore had the uncommon fortune of protecting an archive deal via an unsolicited demo. On the whim, the Cool Spring indigenous sent his house recordings to Sub Pop Information in January 2007, producing a full-length debut for the label just one single year afterwards. Moore’s amiable and participating folk songs had been lent fat in the studio room by co-producer Joe Chiccarelli (Shins, Light Stripes), violin participant Petra Haden, upright bass participant Justin Meldal-Johnsen, and vocalist Jesca Hoop, most of whom made an appearance on 2008’s Stray Age group. He held the collaborative heart alive twelve months later by dealing with cellist Ben Sollee, who got previously performed alongside Abigail Washburn in the folk supergroup Sparrow Quartet. Collectively, the two made up several songs inspired from the American South, and fellow Kentucky indigenous and My Morning hours Jacket front guy Jim James quickly joined the task as maker. The resulting recording, Dear Companion, premiered this year 2010 under both music artists’ names, adopted in early 2011 by Moore’s second single work, the gospel-influenced In the Great of your day. 2012 saw the discharge of Farthest Field, a cooperation with Louisville-based vocalist/songwriter Joan Shelley, adopted in 2013 by Archives Vol. I, a assortment of previously unreleased recordings, uncommon monitors, and collaborations. In early 2015 Moore helped to engineer Shelley’s wonderful Over and Also LP, and afterwards that calendar year he issued a fresh studio record, the Sofa Burn off Records-issued Golden Age group, which noticed him once more dealing with Jim James.
