Phantogram – ‘Three’

The new Phantogram album, Three, is out now and I had the pleasure of co-writing all but one of these tunes with Josh and Sarah from the band and Ricky Reed. I also co-produced “You Don’t Get Me High Anymore” and “Same Old Blues.” A fun and intense experience. Hope you’ll give this album a serious listen.

Dan Wilson For The Talkhouse: Favorite Lyrics of 2016 So Far

The Talkhouse asked me recently to write a piece about my favorite lyrics of 2016 so far. I chose the song “Wristband” by Paul Simon, from his latest album, Stranger to Stranger. I love the way the lyrics start out as a seemingly simple rock star misadventure, but soon transform into a scary and sad metaphor for the times we’re living in. I also drew the illustration, by the way.

The Head and The Heart – “Turn It Around”

I was very excited to have the chance to work on “Turn It Around” with The Head and The Heart. What an awesome band! The song I co-wrote is out today along with the rest of their new album, Signs of Light.

OK, Stuart Davis, how the heck you make your paintings loom out of the frame and into the space between us?

Wait a minute, Stuart Davis! You’re getting into the crazy yellow act, too?

Oh Basquiat, you are a treasure. And your ecstatic and bold yellows measure up to the best of the best.
