About Dan Cray's sound:

     Dan Cray - Paeans to booze, arguments with God. Dan Cray delivers haunting and yet toungue-in-cheek folk-pop carols about everything you care about...
          -Jay Wightman from Truth in Stuff

     ...These are beautiful songs precisely because of the emptiness they express, in the same way that overcast skies can sometimes inspire more feelings than rays of sun.
          -Kali H. from Listen.Com

     ...Peter Gabriel trod these boards once upon a foxtrot. Now it's Cray's turn to take the stage. Here's your chance for a front-row seat. Don't miss out.

     ...flows from one beautiful, unsettling melody to the next, sometimes contemplative, at others softly abrasive. American Music Club, Pavement, Miracle Legion and Yo La Tengo come to mind.
          -Jim Santo from Demo Universe

     ...wonderful laughable lyrics that rip the soul apart.
          -Ziggy Nix from Jersey Beat Magazine

     ...dark comedic soliloquy about loveless sex, sexless love, and all of life's ironic little murders.
          -Jacques Lambert from Beyond Id (Totally biased bandmate)

     ...a solo act with some real talent, the drunken prophet, Dan Cray.
          -Eric Walls from fAZE 3 Magazine

News:

Got kind of a greatest hits album, Athenaeum, up for sale at CD Baby. 22 tracks from the first 9 recordings. I've also got tracks for sale on Itunes, and loaded a bunch of songs into Snocap, they're looking to become the indie-itunes. You can check out my little Snocap store on my Music page (or directly above), it lets you preview songs, check the ones you want to buy, and check out.



Working on some acoustic versions of my older songs; just one take, two mikes see what happens kinda thing. Got some slightly better mikes and new mixer. So far I'm diggin the sound. I'll put some samples up soon.



The new album, "Little Help" is finally finished, Check it out in the music section. It took a while, but I'm really happy with the sound. It's probably my best recording mix-wise, 1/3 cup mid life crisis, 2 better micro-mo-phones, 1 drummer on cd, 1 baby on the way, 1 complete inability to deal with the impending reality.
