Daniel Romano updatery - 7" available now, LP out June 1st

In the words of The Dude, "certain information has come to light, man".  Our friends at You've Changed Records have been busy prepping their latest release and have given us a glimpse of what's to come.  As I'm sure you've guessed the photo above is for Daniel Romano's upcoming solo effort "Workin' for the Music Man".  The album has a scheduled release date of June 1st so mark your calendars folks!  Daniel has been posting tiny morsels of info on his blog as well so check it out from time to time for the latest news on him.

I had mentioned a few posts back that Daniel had a 7" single being released as well.  It was originally only available at select Daniel, Fred, and Julie shows but you can now order it online through the Dine Alone Records web shop for a mere $6 (i think that includes shipping).  A great deal for what is sure to be a nice set of songs.

Below is an excellent "in Studio" session with Daniel courtesy of Dine Alone Records and Wood & Wires Productions.  Enjoy!



Dine Alone Records and Wood & Wires Productions present In Studio with Daniel Romano. Bringing you a behind the scenes look at the artist, featuring an interview and an exclusive live song.

Daniel Romano - 7" single

Attack in Black front man Daniel Romano has been a busy man as of late, which is great news for us the listening public.  Hot on the heels of his stellar collaboration with Fred Squire and Julie Doiron (Daniel, Fred, and Julie), Daniel has a solo album due out in the not so distant future aptly titled 'Workin For the Music Man'.
No official release date has been given yet for the LP, but we do have a 7" single on the way in the meantime.  The 'sings a losing song' single will have two alternate takes of songs that'll be appearing on the LP and will be released on Dine Alone Records soon. Those of you attending the last three shows of the Daniel, Fred, & Julie tour can pick up a copy at the shows.
We can also expect a 12" (45RPM) EP titled 'Songs for Misha' to be released on You've Changed Records this summer.  I think I speak for everyone when I say "keep the vinyl coming Daniel, we're listening!"
Below you'll find a performance by Daniel w/ Misha Bower from the Horseshoe in Toronto on April 15th.  Hopefully this tune will turn up on one of the forthcoming releases.

you've changed ...

You've Changed Records is one my favorite labels going. It's an artist run indie label who prides itself on quality, not quantity .... as evidenced by their 3 official releases over the past year. I count each of their releases among some of the best music I own, which is why I'm VERY excited about news of an upcoming tour by Daniel, Fred & Julie !!!

Daniel Romano is one of the artists behind You've Changed Records, you may know him from his stellar band Attack In Black. He had an idea to record a few new songs and some old standards in an old school way, one microphone, a four track tape machine, and some acoustic guitars. The making of the record was detailed nicely by Daniel over on the Hero Hill blog, check it out, it's a nice little read. Recorded in Fred Squire's garage with a some vocal assistance by Julie Doiron, this album is a real slow burner and very easy on the ears. I find myself listening to this record in the morning while making breakfast, or sitting on the back porch. It's just an all around great listen with an old time vibe.

The video below is from a club date the trio did in Berlin last fall. Runner was penned by Romano and is one of the stand out tracks on the album. Do yourself a favor and catch these guys live if you can, tour dates below.
