Melbourne singer/songwriter Dan Webb is back with twelve brand new songs, each to be released individually for free download throughout 2013. The first track ‘Departure’ is out now and features the soulful vocal talents of the wonderful Bamboos front woman Kylie Auldist.
Webb’s unique release strategy of ‘12 songs, 12 months’ sprang to mind in September 2012 as he prepared to record demos to pitch to potential producers of his upcoming debut album. Within two months he had assembled, rehearsed and recorded nine songs with a new band comprising some of Melbourne’s most indemand session musicians.
Webb’s new recordings feature Peter Marin (Paul Kelly, Bertie Blackman) on drums, Josh Jones (Dan Sultan, Gossling) on bass and Kieran Conrau & Ari Farrar from The Cat Empire horn section.! His sound is hard to place into one specific genre, but is undeniably catchy, keyboard-driven alternative rock music. By ditching the electric guitars and hitting the keys, this maverick has given rock a delicious and original spin that is sure to excite a mass audience.
Previously having toured Australia, the UK and New Zealand in support of his 2010 sophomore EP “Hyperspace Clearance”, Webb is now set to embark on his biggest national tour to date.
