Considering my discovery of Virginia fingerstyle guitarist Daniel Bachman is the sole result of the enthusiasm of Secret Mountains‘ Jeffrey Silverstein, it makes a sort of cosmic sense that their latest venture – a music journal/record club by the name of Singles Club features Daniel Bachman as their very first artist.
“Coming Home”, Bachman’s exclusive Singles Club track, is a bit of a slow burner. Bachman’s tracks have a tendency to build off a single melodic idea, steadily developing into complex but ever tuneful bits of instrumentalism and that’s exactly what happens here. Beginning with yawny reverberations, it plods forth sure and steady like the subtle creep of dawn sunlight. Languorous without lifelessness, “Coming Home” revels in its own sounds, content to let its note ring true along its plainsy sprawl.
If you fancy yourself a Daniel Bachman fan and/or want to own a series of exclusive 7″ from Bachman, Small Sur, Wisdom Tooth, and Woodsman, consider pre-ordering a quarterly subscription to Singles Club via their Kickstarter.
