If Sufjan Stevens covered Nirvana Unplugged while doing naked cartwheels, it might sound a little something like Daniel Harris. These are the words of just one new Daniel Harris fan, whom he thanked with a hug and copy of his new album,
“Thirty-two bit isn’t really eight bits better.”
Crafted over an 18-month period of time, a sample of moments captured while playing in his bedroom, roommate's bedroom, living room, and yes--the bathroom. These bits and pieces of lo-fi pop were then extracted and self-produced before being mastered by a master, Dave Harris (John Vanderslice, Pattern is Movement), who is of no relation.
“Great,” you say, "But how does the record sound?”
Here's the skinny on the aural experience of “Thirty-two bit isn’t really eight bits better:” With merely an acoustic guitar, a cello, a glockenspiel, a melodica, a banjo, and his own ingenuity, Daniel Harris crafts beautiful sound environments and experimental pop songs that range from melodic to melodic plus (reminiscent of Grizzly Bear or Sufjan Stevens). It's the kind of anti-folk/experimental pop that's perfect for headphones, loud stereos, or the steps of the Lincoln memorial in Washington, D.C., where he managed to play his way out of a potential arrest for "protesting" and converting a member of the D.C. police force into a fan. Hopefully, it'll convert you too.
