Timothy
Daniel occupies a rare musical space where POP and INTEGRITY harmonize
triumphantly at last. This San Francisco based songwriter draws
from an unconventional sense of structure, progression, and arrangement
which will refract aural shards of soundscapes ranging from the
likes of Duncan Sheik, Fiona Apple, and Ben Folds to Brian Wilson,
John Mayer, and David Bowie.
"Better Than Truth (Limited Edition)" is Timothy's independent
debut album. Television, surrender, mortality, voluntary delusion,
and womanizing circus performers are among the topics explored in
the 11 songs on "Better Than Truth". The cleverly crafted
lyrics are delivered over plush blankets of shimmering harmony and
lush string arrangements. The clean and sizable production is well
grounded by some of the most inventive songwriting and guitar work
on the pop music scene today. The record was produced by Timothy
Daniel, London-based David Peters, and Brooklyn's power popsters
"The Animators" during the winter of 2005. It contains
11 songs written in this newcomer's first year composing original
music. Suffice it to say, this is only the very beginning for Timothy
Daniel and music lovers everywhere. This CD also features: Michael
Valerio (bass guitar - Vanessa Carlton, Hoobastank, Mya)Jimmy Paxson
(drums - Rod Stewart, Alanis Morissette, Steve Vai)Ludvig Girdland
(violin - Sting, Macy Gray, Diana Krall)Miguel Atwood-Ferguson (viola

Simon Dawes currently on tour with Maroon5)Robert Anderson (violin

A&R Online recommends Timothy Daniel
A wonderfully fresh project and a truly unique artist
is Timothy Daniel. Clearly there is a John Mayer and a
kind of retro Brian Wilson influence but frankly all this
comparison is best ignored because TD is all himself at
the end of the day. A nice sophisticated jazz harmonic
sensibility but like Mayer, cleverly managed to make it
100% pop and for mass appeal.
