Dan Koshute

When multi-octave singer-songwriter Dan Koshute sets his mind to something, he doesn’t half-ass it. His newest, self-produced record, <a href="spotify:album:0IZPv0suclDdWgx0fxqtRj" data-name="Intravolve">Intravolve</a>, is no exception. On <a href="spotify:album:0IZPv0suclDdWgx0fxqtRj" data-name="Intravolve">Intravolve</a> Koshute sings of hard-won personal truths and their contradictions derived from experiences of introspection and outlook, loss and lossless-ness, and big time individuality.

Like his previous release, 2018’s <a href="spotify:album:3M6h96DeLK1eWC32bHZC0g" data-name="All the Way Always">All the Way Always</a>, Koshute again plays every instrument on the record. But where <a href="spotify:album:3M6h96DeLK1eWC32bHZC0g" data-name="All the Way Always">All the Way Always</a> was rooted in ornamenting the music with an electronic sensibility, <a href="spotify:album:0IZPv0suclDdWgx0fxqtRj" data-name="Intravolve">Intravolve</a> is unapologetically more organic and raw. Now the 8 songs of <a href="spotify:album:0IZPv0suclDdWgx0fxqtRj" data-name="Intravolve">Intravolve</a> are starkly essential and elegantly grandiose, blisteringly raucous and blissfully serene at the same time, sometimes in the same track.

Recorded in a secret recording studio in the back of a Pittsburgh yoga studio, Koshute recorded an album the likes of which he hoped he&#39;d one day have the chance to produce. &#34;I always wanted to make a record rooted in the directness of the songs, where the strength of the melodies, the emotion crystalized within the music and the performances were the focus.&#34; Influenced by childhood musical heroes and new idols. Just a few mics, a couple amps, one guitar. And the songs.
