Daniel G. Harmann & the Trouble Starts

GOLDFINCH:
"...Goldfinch, and especially onstage, Aaron Stevens and Grace Sullivan seem amazed, like two mutes suddenly cured. It’s not an act; it’s Goldfinch. No artifice divides them from their growing audience. No armor protects them."
- Mark Thomas Deming, City Arts Magazine

TELEGRAPH CANYON:
"This sprawling Fort Wort...h, TX septet write alarming small songs, ornamented with accordion and violin - quiet little alt-country numbers that work their way toward irresistible choruses."
- Rolling Stone

DANIEL G. HARMANN & THE TROUBLE STARTS:
“Daniel G. Harmann’s newest release, the “Our Arms EP”, finds the stalwart Seattle musician expanding and further electrifying his beautiful downer ballads with the help of his band, the Trouble Starts. In the past, Harmann has sometimes played things lo-fi and spare, and while his foggy singing and his sad songs certainly don’t suffer from that treatment, they tend to land with a little more satisfying weight this way. The songs are still sleepy-headed and soft, but they’re wrapped up in warm, buzzing guitars against far-off echoes, with hard-hit drums holding everything down. It’s mope rock for sure, but it’s pretty lively mope rock. ”
- Eric Grandy, the Stranger

UNCLE DOODAD:
"Tune the car radio to the local soft-rock station, pull off to the nearest truck stop, close your eyes and take a minute to daydream about your island vacation of choice, and you might get a sound close to uniquely chill self-described "face melting Americana" vibe of Seattle's own Uncle DooDad." -Jennifer Christine Sjolund, Seattle Indie Music ExaminerRead More
