Song Exploder podcast feature

I went on the Song Exploder podcast to talk about “Closing Time” – how I wrote the song, what Semisonic was doing at the time, what was happening in my life then. It was a surprisingly deep dive, and now I know why Hrishi Hirway’s interviews are so informative and listenable and moving. Listen here: songexploder.net/semisonic

New Single – “Last December”

I wrote this year’s holiday song, “Last December,” with my friend and collaborator Jeremy Messersmith. That’s him on background vocals, guitalele, and all over the vibe of the song. We wrote it to a MOOD-enhanced loop that felt pretty seasonal at the time. Thanks to John Mark Nelson for bass, guitar, mixing, and to Ethan Gruska and Sara Mulford for orchestral holiday atmosphere.

New Single – “Sunshine”

My new single: “Sunshine.” I wrote it with Mondo Cozmo when we were first getting to know each other. He was laughing about how his main goal with this song was to make it sound like Semisonic. Mission accomplished, do you think?

Single – “Uncanny Valley”

I moved with my family from Minneapolis to the San Fernando Valley in LA in 2011, and I’m still getting used to it. I find LA to be warm, welcoming, impersonal, weird, and scary at the same time. “Uncanny Valley” is about what it’s like for me to be a songwriter living here in the Valley in 2018.

“Yoko”

Hi friends – here’s a song called “Yoko.” A few years ago, I called some musician friends and we made this recording of it. The performance we captured feels like a dream to me, and that’s what the story sounds like, too. So I decided to share it with you again. I think about the people in the lyrics almost every day, even though I never met them. So here they are in a song. Hope you enjoy it. Peace, DW
