Daniel Bachman’s ‘Moving Through Light’ is a remarkable recording that turns the guitar soli genre inside out…It is a startlingly beautiful, challenging, painstaking piece of work from an artist who continues to push boundaries and create the work that means the most to him.
Daniel Bachman’s 25-minute opus, Quaker Run Wildfire, is one of his most potent and visceral responses to climate change to date. It features field recordings he made near his home during the 2023 drought and the ensuing devastation of the Quaker Run Wildfire.
On ‘When the Roses Come Again’ Daniel Bachman returns to the past and does a wonderful job in skilfully blending his electronic touches with traditional music. Of his whole quartet of recent work, starting with 2018’s Morning Star, this is his strongest.
For his newly announced album When the Roses Come Again, out November 17th on Three Lobed Recordings, Daniel Bachman exits the steel string world where he started and tiptoes into a new one, where apparitions and nature inhabit compositions in a musical, genealogical garden.
As beautiful and powerful as an electrical storm, Daniel Bachman’s Almanac Behind hones his new sound into a lean and precise tapestry. It is an extraordinary achievement by a unique artist. My album of the year.
For Lonesome Weary Blues, an album of covers and traditional tunes, Daniel Bachman’s acoustic is again the star of the show. The music sounds joyous and the picking is confident and precise. It’s a beautifully balanced album, unpretentious and life-affirming, from this ever-creative musician.
There is so much more to be found throughout Axacan, but the overall result is a sprawling, painstakingly created record by a progressive artist that will take many listens to fully digest. Axacan is Daniel Bachman’s most accomplished work yet.
Three Lobed Recordings have announced the release “Axacan”, the fourth album from Daniel Bachman for the label and his first album in three years. Listen to Coronach.
Part Two of our Best Folk Albums of 2018 includes Ben Glover, Faeland, Shooglenifty, Brona McVittie, Emma Tricca, Glenn Jones, Hannah Sanders & Ben Savage, Rachael McShane, John Smith, Kacy & Clayton and lots more.
The Morning Star seems like a giant leap forward into the experimental mind of Bachman. It’s an album with a sharp tongue and among the beauty that shines through is plenty of unrest, unease and anger. It makes for powerful and original music and ends on a finale that will probably blow your mind.
