about
Born and raised in the suburbs of New York City on rainbow cookies, Phil Ochs, bike rides and time travel, Daniel Harris has been a performing musician for nearly two decades. "If Sufjan Stevens covered Nirvana Unplugged while doing naked cartwheels, it might sound a little something like Daniel Harris...With merely an acoustic guitar, a cello, a glockenspiel, a melodica, a banjo, and his own ingenuity, Daniel Harris crafts beautiful sound environments and experimental pop songs that range from melodic to melodic plus (reminiscent of Grizzly Bear or Sufjan Stevens). It's the kind of anti-folk/experimental pop that's perfect for headphones, loud stereos, or the steps of the Lincoln memorial in Washington, D.C., where he managed to play his way out of a potential arrest for "protesting" and converting a member of the D.C. police force into a fan. Hopefully, it'll convert you too." -from press release for "Thirty-two bit..." What "They" say: “Very beautiful. Very different to my ears, sensitive and human. And brave I think. I love the love song in the early part. And the instrumental combinations throughout. A unique and magic sound here.” – political cartoonist and journalist Steve Brodner, The Naked Campaign (at The New Yorker Online), RollingStone, The Atlantic, Mother Jones “The record ["Thirty-two bit"] sounds rad.” –Andrew Thiboldeaux, Pattern is Movement “…It is really, really nice. I liked Elephant the most. It’s real good…Beautiful tunes.” –Ben Wigler, Arizo
