the Horse & the Sistine Chapel



Daniel G. Harmann & the Trouble Starts
will release their new record, Risk, on October 26th. Mr. Harmann has been a prolific songwriter in the NW for many years and this will be his sixth record (his second with his band, the Trouble Starts). We could not be more excited to annouce the first single from the album, the Horse & the Sistine Chapel, which is available today from iTunes and Amazon!

Take a listen to the single and two other new songs; "Lions" features the beautiful vocals of Irene Barber (from fellow Seattle band Eighteen Individual Eyes) and the recording of "Dee" is brand new (check out this video that Anton Bogaty put together for the old recording).

The band is playing next on September 3rd at the Comet Tavern in Seattle. Stay tuned for much more about the release coming soon. For now, we hope you enjoy the music!

As taken from the band's bio:

“When you make a record you want to love every song on it,” Harmann says, obviously proud of his compositions and his collaborations with all these talented people. Various people have tagged his work everything from "beautiful and expressionistic" to "mope rock." "Call it what you will," Harmann says, "but at its core, its rock and roll. It's dirty and imperfect. It's quiet and loud." And on "Risk" it's truly beautiful and powerful.
