John Cratchley Dan is on fire at the moment...so many ideas spilling out onto this album...it feels very immediate and bold...

made2fade "Arc" is definitely not a clean, neatly organized jazz-rock album. It's raw yet smooth, unpredictable yet hits all the right buttons. It's great. Favorite track: Mysterium Cosmographicum.

Steve Lawson This is so so great - Dan's work always evidences equal parts creative genius and deep care and attention to detail. That the latter never smothers the former is rare. Beautiful experimental guitar music with killer drumming and some brilliant melodies :)

Laura Tenchio right now, I'm in a crowded bus with families and their children heading out into the forests, leaving the buzz of the city behind. I listen to "it grows on you" over and over again and I start losing myself in that track the more we get into the forest. Even the children are quieter now. I think it grows on them, too ;) Favorite track: It Grows on You.

about

This is a rich record full of dynamics, thick grooves, and coruscating soundscapes. I can hear the threads leading back to my previous albums, but in Arc they're woven into some other kind of strange and beautiful tapestry. When I listen to it I get strange visions, that I won't go into here, because hopefully, you will see your own. -Dan
