Dan Goldman’s Luxury Pond

Spinning on Air | May 18, 2010
Dan Goldman is a songwriter based in Toronto, and his latest project is a group of unusual, tuneful, elegantly textured songs about sharks, boulders, frozen lakes, clay portraits, and the emotions they evoke and reflect. With accompaniments that include gorgeous string quartet arrangements by Owen Pallett (Final Fantasy), the sound-world of Goldman’s songs is lush and fresh. “Luxury Pond” hasn’t been released yet, and host David Garland offers you your first chance to hear this delectably original album.
