Search - David Singer :: East of the Fault Line

Over the course of three acclaimed solo LPs, David Singer has become a fixture in underground music, renowned for his polished songcraft, incredible versatility and sophisticated lyrics, heralded by major magazines and bedroom bloggers alike. David s new LP, East of the Fault Line, is a major step forward. It is both tender and literate, evoking the best work of Elliott Smith, Ray Davies and Tom Waits while maintaining a sound and a sensibility all its own. The songs on East of the Fault Line are widely varied stylistically, from the White Album hum of Command Overhead to the melancholy jazz of So Long, So Long , on through the reverb-drenched crunch of the title track. The wistful Little Charles , in fact, was composed as part of David s score for Steppenwolf Theatre s August: Osage County, which will make its Broadway debut in November 2007. But make no mistake, these songs are part of a whole a thoughtful, sincere record about memory and regret. There are plenty of hooks everywhere, and choruses that sink into your brain and refuse to go away. Singer has grown into an artist of real stature, and his rise to world domination can only be a matter of time now. - Chris Nickson, All Music Guide "David Singer just keeps getting better and better. He boasts the lyrical eye of a poetic but funny novelist and the musical chops and range of a great Tin Pan Alley tunesmith who's taken way too many psychedelic drugs." - Jim DeRogatis, pop music critic, Chicago Sun-Times Singer's classic pop sensibility flourishes, proving him to be as skilled with a Beatlesque hook as he is with more textured, songwriterly twists of melody and phrase. His strongest suit, in fact, may be his lyrics. Singer is undoubtedly a young songwriter to watch."
