New Music From Canon Blue

canon blue

Loving this first single “Indian Summer (Des Moines)” from the album Rumspringa, the 11-song orchestral-pop record from multi-instrumentalist Daniel James (aka Canon Blue).  The record was written while Daniel was touring the world with Efterklang, primarily recorded in the off-hours at their Copenhagen studio. Mads and Casper from Efterklang helped produce the record that features guest appearances by themselves, Slaraffenland, & amiina.

Look for this record August 29th 2011 on Rumraket.

Canon Blue

Listen up fans of Maps, Grizzly Bear, Thom Yorke and Caribou. I think you’re going to like the music of Canon Blue.

I regret not going to see this artist (songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Daniel James) play live when he toured here to Toronto this month. I’m loving his dreamy folktronica; blissful melodies backed by electronic beats and loops. The full-length record (Colonies) was mixed by Chris Taylor (Grizzly Bear) is available on Rumraket Records.

Check out the first track off Colonies, Treehouse. Head to Who Needs Radio and I Guess I’m Floating to find more.
