Daniel Martin Moore
Stray Age
Sub Pop
Records

Daniel Martin Moore probably did not set out to be a singer/songwriter. The honesty and simplicity of his music give the impression that he possesses effortless natural talent. Moore recorded some songs, and, on a whim, sent them to Sub Pop Records. Sincerity, talent, and the unsolicited demo paid off, leading to the release of Stray Age. The calming melodies are similar to the music from the Pacific Northwest, but the bass and delicate guitar plucking reveal Moore’s Kentucky roots. The album is modest and intriguing, hinting that Moore is just getting started.
