Daniel
Higgs travels with his songs, and his songs are traveling
songs, capable of transporting us into the magical mind realms
of symbol and myth, and into the unnamed spirit worlds beyond
and between words. His work is a new manifestation of a longer,
larger work, the eternal work of the mystics –
who have always wandered, and have always sung. Daniel is dedicated
to mystery, its consideration and illumination. This dedication
to the etheric is rarified indeed in our current age, even rarer
still is his ability to weave song into a powerful gateway,
through which we can access the vast wilderness of the mysterious
for ourselves.
Daniel's
musical works have varied greatly over the years, as he has
crisscrossed the globe with different instruments in hand (shruti
box, jew's harp, long-neck banjo), danced between labels (Thrill
Jockey, Holy Mountain, Discord, etc.), and allied himself with
other musicians – many know him as the singer of Lungfish,
and recently Daniel has recorded and toured with The Skull
Defekts... creating two veil rending albums of sonic treasure.
And Daniel has ten solo albums to his name, among the countless
sidelines.
Over and
over again we Gnome Lifers have cherished Daniel's
limited vinyl releases and quested for his often hard to find
underground shows. Indeed we delight in the opportunity to bathe
in the esoteric ecstasy of Daniel Higgs. So it is with great
pleasure and anticipation, that we will present two brand new
and grand song collections. Check back soon for more details!
