Barcode: 5024545791129
For fans of: Bon Iver, Leonard Cohen, Laura Marling."Captivating ... a similar impact on me as Bon Iver's For Emma, Forever Ago ... mesmerising" ---- MOJO // The story began like this ...We heard Daniel Gadd by pure chance. A flickering neon sign occupied one corner of the stage. Daniel took centre stage. He plays guitar and sings. We happened to be there. Immediately we began to listen. That dark basement in central London, a haven far from the concerns of people on the streets above, was the best place to be in London that night. The audience was spellbound. And then just as he seemed to be finishing up, someone shouted out one more! Okay, thanks&is it okay if I do one more? asked Daniel, wondering for a moment, not sure if it was. The venue booker by the door did not hesitate and nodded the go-ahead. Daniel played on. And we were very glad to be there. It turned out that Daniel Gadd had somehow got to London via Spain, and he had been in London for a year. Hed trained at Berklee College of Music in Valencia, Spain. He composes and scores for film, and also works as a film composers assistant, during the daytime. At night he likes to play gigs. Hed even recorded an album of songs by the sea at Kalk Bay, a small fishing village thats now become part of Cape Town. But he hadnt known what to do next. Well we said we love your music so lets meet up soon. A few days later we met Daniel at Foyles bookstore cafÈ at 107 Charing Cross Road. The album hed mentioned is his remarkable debut. So here it is&. the album will now be released on CD and digital through Cargo. Daniel named his label 107 Recordings in recognition of the Foyles meeting where the idea for the release of this album was born. Daniel Gadd is 26 years old. Hes British-South African. He grew up in South Africa, he lived in Spain for a year and after that he found his way to London
