Synopsis

Product Description
The debut by Kentucky's Moore is a folk record, evoking certain feelings, but there's a gentle approach to its sound and the way Daniel's voice phrases his words. Joe Chiccarelli (The Shins, U2, The White Stripes) took on co-production, recording, and mixing duties. "Stray Age" is rich with understated complexities that take you to places Nick Drake and Neil Halstead do.There's a soft swing in the vocals reminiscent of Chet Baker. But what separates Moore from the pack is he's looking forward; he wants to go places and we're finding him right in that moment.

Beautiful

"I had a long drive ahead of me when I picked up a copy of Daniel Martin Moore's debut Stray Age. I had been eagerly awaiting it's release since I first heard his song "That'll Be the Plan" on his Myspace page months prior. I decided to take a long string of back-country roads to my destination rather than the noisy, dull highway. Between the gorgeous melodies of the album and the rustling, golden leaves whisking around my car, time almost stood still as I listened intently to the entire album over and over. Stray Age is a subtle album, maybe even difficult to fully understand first listen. It is an album to be absorbed, audibly savored. Daniel didn't rush through this album, so neither should you. Sit back and relax with Stray Age, let it slowly work it's way into one of your favorite albums."

"It would not at all be an overstatement to say that Daniel Martin Moore has a voice as smooth as silk that will melt your heart away. Every track on his first release 'Stray Age' from Sub Pop Records is an absolute gem. Don't be in any kind of a hurry when you listen. He's not. His voice will slowly caress you with sweet, reflective, but non-sugary lyrics. For his first ever release he writes as if he is already a seasoned songwriter. His melodies are so natural and effortless as much as they stick to your mind hours after listening. Sticking to the mind is a good sign of good songs. Picking the highlighted songs of this disc is hard to do because the whole disc is a highlight, but you cannot go wrong with songs like 'That'll be the Plan', 'Stray Age', 'Every Color and Kind', 'The Hour of Sleep', and 'By Dream'. And his cover of 'Who Knows Where the Time Goes' is absolutely beautiful. Music is no competition, but it certainly rivals any version that I've ever heard. If you like beautiful folk tunes sung by a beautiful voice with a smidge of non-smaltzy lounge, Daniel Martin Moore is for you. Soon and very soon I know that I will be hearing the world cry out for Moore Moore Moore!!!"
