The Danforths – Amphibian (CD)
The Minneapolis-via-Fargo sound junkie Chris Danforth creates Eno-esque sound textures with the quirky lyricism of the Magnetic Fields and the Modern Lovers, this time with the help of band members Tom Kemmer and Neil Fasen. Danforth, winner of the McKnight Composer Fellowship, displays a range of composition with this collection of hook-laden indie pop to the eerie ambiance of the three tracks which lend the album its name.
