October 9 street date. Non-returnable CD. Produced by Jim James. "Our golden age is here" Daniel Martin Moore sings on the title track of his latest offering, and he could easily be singing about his own career. Moore has steadily gained a following as one of our most emotive and haunting singers since his acclaimed debut back in 2008. Those deeply moving vocals are pushed to new heights on Golden Age, which he coproduced with Jim James of My Morning Jacket. The album is also a whole new sound for Moore. Known for his meditative singing and guitar-driven melodies, Golden Age manages to hold onto that calming element while also giving Moore a more upbeat quality on a larger canvas. Again and again Golden Age reminds us that this is an album that is not afraid to celebrate love, friendship, and - best of all - the wonderful power of outright possibility that is suggested by every song on the record. Always there is the power of music in Golden Age's expressive piano solos, in the thump of bass, in the soaring vocals or in lyrics that tell us "maybe we can never know / these things we love so well / but the music never leaves / the dusk & the dawn & the memories".
October 27 street date. ?e idea for DMM's new record came a?er he learned that close friends of his were using one of his previous albums as a bedtime lullaby routine for their children. He decided to make some new recordings to help out. “I just felt so honored that the songs were being used in that way, and I wanted to see what would happen if there was even more intention behind the recordings,” he says. “Along the way, it expanded into a whole batch of songs and eventually into this LP.” DMM’s work has always been known for its meditative quality. His trademark combination of so? vocals and a masterful use of instrumentation— o?en featuring his piano skills—naturally evokes a peaceful mood. Turned Over to Dreams surely contains some of his best compositions, singing, and cra?smanship on an effort he produced, recorded, and mixed himself.
