I can’t believe Dan finally dropped the song after all this time! I don’t know Dan. Or who Dan is, really. But they say Dan’s upcoming record is a masterpiece. Everyone on my TL loves Dan. Or at least they say they love Dan. I guess I do too. Dan’s new song is good. So good that the first time I listened to it, I sold all my crypto and looked into buying a pony. Dan’s new song just makes me feel… I don’t know… beautiful. Maybe it’s all been done before, but I like it like this. Yep, lemme get one emo ballad with melodramatic strings, self-effacing vocals, and a gritty guitar solo endearingly afraid of overstaying its welcome, but make it Dan’s way. The truth is, you don’t need any context for the song to work its magic. You don’t need to know that Dan plays guitar in Porches, or that he once ran the most esteemed acoustic guitar orchestra New York City’s ever seen, or that Melody English did the backing vocals on the track. You don’t even need to be mutuals on IG. When you listen to “Across My Jaw,” Dan’s your friend.

IYKYK…basically everyone in the NYC music scene has been waiting years for Dan to release music after the massive sounding Guitar Symphony series in 2022, rockin out in Porches live band, and plenty of intimate solo gigs.
Truly special artist bound for greatness, can’t wait for the full album.

I know all these other recs were calming and mindful, but I thought I would put this out there cause I’m crazy obsessed. I’ve been his BIGGEST fan for a couple of years now, and knowing there’s more music coming up is the light of my life. If you have a minute, go listen to his new song basic being basic. If you have more than just a minute I would recommend listening to his other albums twenty twenty, and decide. On a broader note, go find new music! A fresh playlist always cheers me up.

I used to listen to him a lot more when i was younger, but i’ve been picking him back up recently along with steely dan. A bit hungover and laying like a cat on the warm concrete listening to Finally Alone and Hey Nineteen. This type of music is what girls who grew up on 70s yacht rock fw now a days. Grab yourself a friend w a boat, a day off from work, and a nice juicy watermelon slice.
