New single from British indie singer/songwriter is an epic rallying cry

 

The opportunity to work with acclaimed engineer/mixer Calvin Lauber (boygenius /Paramore/ Julien Baker), drummer Shawn Zorn (Dashboard Confessional), and Jonathan Kirkscey "Won't You Be My Neighbor", made for a dynamic and dramatic sounding production.

July 2024, Brooklyn, NY - The Battle of the Billionaires (released August 2024) is danieljmorrow’s first post-pandemic single release. His debut performance of the then barely completed song in the Green Room, Memphis, TN in December 2023 left the audience quite taken aback due to its powerful message and song arrangement. Written during an artist residency in Memphis, Tennessee and recorded at Memphis Magnetic recording studio in late 2023 , the track was immediately slated as the first single.“I’ve been feeling the need for some time to express my anger at how the wealthiest people are treating our planet as their disposable playground”. says Daniel, “but I also wanted to include some kind of hopeful message in what feels like a pretty hopeless time”.

danieljmorrow began his music career in London, England with the band “co-star” before moving to Brooklyn,NY in 2002 and forming a band, The Morrow. His solo album “Underneath” and band album “Between The Times” are available on all major digital outlets.

BIO

Daniel Morrow is a New York-based, British indie singer/songwriter and producer. His work is described as  “highly original music that is satisfying, interesting and engaging” (i). .He performs under the cleverly disguised pseudonym of danieljmorrow. He also performs, writes and produces with a band, under the even more carefully disguised name, The Morrow. Daniel’s work has appeared on Netflix and Amazon shows. 

Born and raised in North London, England, he was always happiest visiting recording studios with his dad - a prolific songwriter and producer for mainstream pop artists such as Barry Manilow. But Daniel’s music taste was the polar opposite; so much so that his Dad suggested packaging his first band’s indie rock album with headache pills!

Daniel initially came to Brooklyn, NY from London, England to follow up with RCA about their requests to hear more about his band “co-star”.  But the friendships and experiences Daniel cultivated during his stay in Brooklyn led to his decision to stay in the city. His commitment to no-frills authenticity and sincerity immediately found a State-side audience. Mercury Record’s A & R director, David Gray, told him he found his lyrics “particularly personal and intriguing, a rarity these days.” Eric Beall, VP of A&R at Sony, was excited by the strength of Daniel's catalog, noting that “the songwriting always keeps me interested.”

The release of his debut solo album UNDERNEATH in 2019 was an autobiography of his relationships and laments since his move from London England to Brooklyn. Musically, it was described as an “accomplished excursion into a myriad of blends of rock and pop stylings” (ii) .Following this release, The Morrow, his band of 10 years, released “Between The Times’ in 2020, a steadfast alternative rock album that still maintained the dark and introspective themes of Daniel’s songwriting. 


An artist residency in Memphis, TN in late 2023 allowed him time to finish an array of new material, ranging from dark, introspective indie folk to all out indie rock. But, like many, the pandemic was highly influential to his creativity and for the first time, Daniel began exploring themes of social, environmental and political justice. He was also fortunate to collaborate on productions with Calvin Lauber (boygenius/Paramore//Julien Baker) adding a highly polished finish to what had traditionally been a lo-fi sound.

Daniel will be releasing new material throughout 2024 and 2025, beginning with the “Battle of the Billionaires” in August 2024.
