Daniel Gadd — South African-born and London-based alternative singer/songwriter — has returned with his second studio album 'About Strange Lands and People'.
In 2015, Daniel Gadd was 25 and living in a small fishing village on the coast of Cape Town. With only a guitar, harmonica and a couple of borrowed microphones, he recorded a set of eight intimate songs. That first album, 'As If in a Dream I Drifted at Sea', would go on to be described in Mojo Magazine by writer Sylvie Simmons as having had “a similar impact on me as Bon Iver’s 'For Emma, Forever Ago': a songwriter isolated among the elements with his memories who emerges with a mesmerising collection of songs.”
'About Strange Lands and People' is a new collection of songs — soft-spoken, warm, nostalgic and dreamlike. Recorded at The Premises Studios in London, the folk influences and gentle, reflective nature of Gadd’s debut album are still there, but they’ve evolved into something a little less fragile and sparse. Each song is a kind of vignette — a window into a different place, time or personality.
Drawing on influences from Leif Vollebekk, Laura Marling, Adrianne Lenker, The Tallest Man on Earth, Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan — 'About Strange Lands and People' is due for Digital and Vinyl release on November 3rd, 2023.
