Daniel Martin Moore -- FREE INSTORE

Daniel Martin Moore Free In-store Performance
Sunday, October 19th - 4:00pm

Daniel hails from the thriving metropolis of Cold Spring, Kentucky and he makes gorgeously sparse, acoustic indie folk music that is sure to appeal to fans Jose Gonzalez, Nick Drake, Elliott Smith, and Iron & Wine. Daniel's story is the indie rock equivalent of feel-good sports films like Rudy; he sent an unsolicited (read: unlikely to get listened to any time soon) demo to the Sub Pop offices, and after months of dusting off his phone, he moved to Costa Rica to work at a bed & breakfast. In the meantime, Sub Pop got through a couple of their tubs of mail, and started looking for this great new artist they'd found. Fast-forward about a year and Daniel now has his debut album finished (it's out this week), with a little help from Joe Chicarelli (who produced the Shins, U2, and The White Stripes) and a handful of new friends, including Jesca Hoop and Petra Haden.

By way of introduction, Sub Pop says, "...as simply as Daniel Martin Moore thinks of Stray Age, it's rich with understated complexities that take you to places that people like Nick Drake and Neil Halstead have been cited as doing. There's a soft swing in the vocals reminiscent of Chet Baker. But the one thing with Moore, that we like to think of as separating him from the pack, is he's looking forward. He wants to go places, he wants you to come with him, and we're finding him right in that moment." Here's a little downloadable Daniel Martin Moore that you can carry with you, until you get in to pick up your copy.

The first 40 people to pick up a copy of Stray Age will also get a bonus CDR featuring four songs currently unavailable anywhere else.

You should set your clicker for his myspace page and keep hitting play until you realize that missing this in-store would be a mistake, then call us and we'll add you to the guest list, no purchase required (though one is certainly encouraged).
