Shadows (2007)
Visit the Press page for reviews and interviews
Placing among CKUA's top 100 Albums of 2007, Shadows cruises through the ether as well as the underworld with fellow artists like Jane Siberry and even Tom Waits. Singer/songwriter Danielle French is possessed of a diverse and slightly surreal talent- the material on Shadows has been described as “beautiful strangeness”, as Danielle is found uncovering melodies that are somewhat strange, yet somehow familiar.
Shadows was co-produced by the multi-multi-talented Jonathan Lewis (the Plaid Tongued Devils), who also played violin, accordion, mandolin and keyboards. Peter Moller and Diane Kooch, of Kris Demeanors’ Crack Band, formed the rhythm section. Madman guitarists, Martin Tielli (Rheostatics) played bizarre and beautiful electric guitars and contributed his gorgeous voice and Diego Medina (Chad Van Gaalen) added just the right amount of strange synth sounds to take this project into outer space. Shadows was completed thanks for the generous support of the Alberta Foundation for the Arts.
Time to Kill placed 2nd runner up in the Calgary Folk Festival Songwriting Competition in 2005 and made it to the semi-finals in the 2006 International Songwriting Competition. And Descending appeared in the TV show Falcon Beach in January, 2007.
Some of this material evolved from Danielle's 2000 EP release foreshadow- click on the link to this project to hear how these songs evolved!
