Synopsis
Dan The Man is the debut solo effort of New York based musician Daniel Taveras. After failed bands on the verge of notoriety, Daniel recorded a solo album in his room alongside his bed. Using bargain bin recording technology, Strange Bedfellows was the result. An on-again, off-again, year-long in the making record, Strange Bedfellows is a subdued and careful work. Favoring melody and magnificence, Dan The Man's debut was created entirely with acoustic tones. This decision impacts the music, imbuing the record with a reflective, natural quality.
