What an authentic album! Dan Webb’s latest record, ‘Sunshine/Dialogue’ is exactly what we believe music should be about. Exploring the unexplored, pushing the boundaries and not getting restricted by any particular genre.
The Melbourne-based creative does exactly that, creating a universal, kaleidoscopic full-length offering with a strong genre-less character, simply navigating sonic panoramas as they come along, blending the organic with the synthesised, the rhythmically ingenious with the harmonically endearing. The result is a quirky, highly authentic musical journey into the mind of Webb, an artist in the purest sense of the word.
‘Sunshine/Dialogue’ builds on a rather simple concept, puzzling together slices of old demos and forgotten compositions. Crowning it all, Dan adds spoken words, taken from an interview he did with Greg Saunier of Deerhoof – especially in the record’s lead single, A Good Song’. In it, the listener can access nuanced wisdom: “What you want is a good song to become undefined, so that everything that has been proscribed is now allowed, everything that has been unheard can now be heard.”
Over twelve transformative and genre-bending pieces, ‘Sunshine/Dialogue’ will change your day – or your entire existence – for the better. Give it a chance.
