Some kind words about "Risk" so far:

"The 6th album from Daniel G. Harmann & co. is a first-rate set of moody indie-pop with rumbling, atmospheric guitar lines that explode into crunchy, rangy solos combined with soft, wispy vocals and a variety of catchy pop hooks" - KEXP.org

"An amazing disc here, this needs to be listened to repeatedly to truly be appreciated- one of the year's best for sure" - Go211.com

"This is a powerful album that can blow you away without having to feel loud or forced. There really isn't a single disappointment here. Risk isn't a risk. It just feels right." - buzzlegoose

"What started out so long ago as the solo voice our community termed 'rainy-day makeout music' has grown into a four person band that has managed to take those heartbreaking songs and give them the context of a vast soundscape of buzzing guitars and rumbling drums. The band will be celebrating its upcoming debut, Risk, an album that is anything but what its title says." - City Arts Magazine

Remember also, two of the songs are available for FREE as part of the Burning Building Fall 2010 Sampler for Amazon. In addition to a couple DGH&TTS songs, Post Harbor, The Oregon Donor, To the Waves, and Speaker Speaker are also included. Download it HERE.

Some kind words from the folks at CIty Arts about the upcoming release and show:

"What started out so long ago as the solo voice our community termed 'rainy-day makeout music' has grown into a four person band that has managed to take those heartbreaking songs and give them the context of a vast soundscape of buzzing guitars and rumbling drums. The band will be celebrating its upcoming debut, Risk, an album that is anything but what its title says."
