Our Take

Danny Schmidt's latest album, "Instead The Forest Rose To Sing," is a whimsical journey through the forest of folk music. Schmidt's songwriting is as sharp as ever, with lyrics that cut through the noise of everyday life like a well-aimed arrow.

The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful "Owl and the Swallow," a tale of love and loss set to a delicate melody. Schmidt's voice floats effortlessly over the acoustic guitar, drawing listeners in with its ethereal quality.

As the album progresses, Schmidt's storytelling becomes more intricate and captivating. Songs like "Dark-Eyed Prince" and "Bitter Moon" showcase his ability to weave together intricate narratives with simple, yet profound melodies.

One standout track is "A Prayer for the Sane," a haunting ballad that speaks to the struggles of maintaining mental health in a chaotic world. Schmidt's lyrics are poignant and raw, cutting straight to the heart of the matter with a precision that is both chilling and exhilarating.

Overall, "Instead The Forest Rose To Sing" is a masterclass in modern folk music. Schmidt's songwriting is as sharp as ever, his melodies are enchanting, and his voice is a force to be reckoned with. This album is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates good music with a touch of magic.
