Today is a day for celebrating! Danielson's Moment Soakers 7" is here!

“Moment Soakers” is everything we’ve come to expect from Danielson, the musical articulation of a singularly poetic and ecstatic vision; music that simultaneously welcomes and surprises, moving both body and soul.  Seven-inch vinyl was deemed the perfect format for this recording, and with its complimentary themes of flying and floating, ABBA’s “Eagle” (a long-time favorite of Smith’s) was quickly decided on as the perfect cover for the B-side, and it's available NOW!

Also, today is the premier of the extraordinary animation of "Moment Soakers" by the dynamic animating duo Marji Fortin and Joshua Abegglen!

Go here to see the vid (exclusive premier on Pitchfork).

Go here to buy the vinyl (available only at Sounds Familyre).

Go here to see the Moment Soakers studio sessions (from the good folks at Weathervane Music).

And go to your favorite digital retailer (you'll have to supply your own links for this one!) to download the digital.

Enjoy now!

It's Off The Ground!
We at Sounds Familyre are delighted to share with you a very special piece of news. Lenny Smith and his lovely wife, Marian, together with Daniel and Elin Smith, the dynamic duo behind Sounds Familyre, have just launched a new record label called Great Comfort Records. Great Comfort seeks to extend the palette of modern sacred music, to hopefully provide more colors and hues to the rendering of our collective search for and experience of the divine. In short, Great Comfort Records exists to make sacred music for the invisible church.

Lenny, Marian, Elin, and Daniel are very pleased to announce Great Comfort Records' inaugural release: 'Come O Spirit!' - Anthology of Hymns and Spiritual Songs Vol.1 by Bifrost Arts. It is a record that brings together an impressive cadre of uniquely gifted artists, including Dave Bazan, Damien Jurado, Rosie Thomas, Shara Warden (of My Brightest Diamond), J.Tillman (of Fleet Foxes), Laura Gibson, Denison Witmer, The Welcome Wagon (featuring Sufjan Stevens), Leigh Nash (of Sixpence None the Richer) and others, to revive four hundred years of long-forgotten melodies and liturgical music. 'Come O Spirit!' is remarkably winsome, singularly rich, and uncommonly beautiful, and it's available here.
