May 22nd full length. It seems some of the Aerial Love EP (title track and "Preach") is included, which I am only luke warm about given the ballad/soulful-pop nature of it.
The lead single for this full-length "Cool on Fire" is below, and it seems similar, although at least there's some use of electronics.
I dig a lot of Daniel's previous music from the 2000's, but I'm not sure how much this new solo music will do for me.
Like albums like Diorama and Young Modern, I thought I read Van Dyke Parks was pretty involved with this solo work, which he very well may, but I suppose I wondered if a lot of the music would include a lot of orchestral/string arrangements and multi-layered vocal harmonies, which I can't say from Aerial Love EP and "Cool on Fire" I notice it all that much.
But I do certainly want to hear this record regardless, and maybe it'll surprise me. "Cool on Fire" does have a little bit of a cool hook at least.
