Dan Bodan concert in Brussels 18th December

Dan Bodan 'Soft' album out now on DFA records

Berlin-based singer and producer Dan Bodan is proud to share the Stadium-produced "Jaws of Life" which, along with the previously-released single "Soft As Rain", will appear on his debut LP, Soft. The album art work for Soft was designed by famed-artist Julien Ceccaldi who currently graces the cover of Artforum's Summer issue. The album will be available on October 28th via DFA records.

'Soft' is a record that matches tender-voiced, heartfelt singing with experimental production from a raft of underground musicians - and its album opener 'A Soft Opening' captures that combo pretty fluidly, at once lush and engrossing, and at the same time coarse and jarring - Dummy

Listen to the brand new track 'A Soft Opening', which adapts poetry by Dena Yago of New York's K-Hole collective. https://soundcloud.com/dfa-records/asoftopening/s-9JMUC

About Dan Bodan:

"I write about the things I know, but it should be interesting for other people. So I want it to be like a really great roman-a-clef, or reading your older sisters diary." - Dan Bodan

Berlin based songwriter Dan Bodan was born in the wide open Canadian prairies and raised in Montreal. Reared on the city's underground noise and experimental music scene, Bodan moved to Berlin 8 years ago. Blossoming in the city's unique mixture of crumbling old-world european values, start-up philanthropy, sleepless techno and epic grey skies, he began writing songs to soundtrack his train rides through the city and make sense of it all.

Working together with a team of world-class producers, poets and artists, he writes songs to fit comfortably in that space between the finger and the mousepad, the bedroom and the club, the earth and the ether.

• "a haunted listen, placing tremulous vocals over spacious, post-dubstep electronics"- Spin Magazine
• "Berlin is the land of techno, but the Canadian-born Bodan has harnessed the digital culture of German music to create delicate takes on drum and bass; jazz that at times sounds like Cool legend Chet Baker; and minimal vocal pop."- Vogue
