About Me
Daniel Folmer is a 23 year old resident of Denton, Texas who was born in Dallas. He plays (or attempts to play) most instruments on his recordings except for live drums. He don't do drums. His songs were recorded by John Congleton of the pAper chAse or by Justin Collins of Burnt Sienna Trio , Michael Briggs, or by his lonesome at home. Reviews/Interviews: What is it about Denton that spawns such great lo-fi ballads? A decade after Centro-matic comes Daniel Folmer, another act with a knack for slow, dreamy songs and haunting melodies. The Paper Chase's John Congleton helped produce the CD, but the 21-year-old Mr. Folmer did just about everything else, from singing and playing guitar and keyboards to writing the tunes. And he's not a happy-go-lucky type (sample title: "Sorry for Being So Sorry"), but his wry humor often creeps through. - Thor Christensen, Dallas Morning News -------------------------------------------- The Dallas Observer says Denton's Daniel Folmer is "on the precipice of something brilliant," and after spending a few days with his new record Gloria, we tend to agree. Daniel is responsible for basically all of the instrumentation on Gloria, and most of the record was recorded by John Congleton, who has worked with Explosions in the Sky, the Mountain Goats, and produced the Polyphonic Spree's amazing new record, among others. Here is the beautiful and sad album-opener from Gloria, which only scratches the surface of Daniel's knack for crafting plaintive, affecting songs that reward repeat listens with increasingly intense heartache. - Gorilla vs. Bear -------------------------------------------- Folmer incorporates elements of Neil Young, David Bowie and even old-school country into his minimalist compositions. Folmer's fragile tenor dances across the skeletal backdrops like a resurrected Nick Drake fronting Yo La Tengo. - Interview/review of "Wear Headphones" by Darryl Smyers (dallas observer)-------------------------------------------- Sure enough, the 22 songs (that's right, 22 songs) on Folmer's Wear Headphones offer a certain matter-of-factness, and many of them feel like a straightforward journal, née diary, entry...if guys really admitted to writing in diaries. Review of "Wear Headphones" by Merritt Martin, Dallas Observer -------------------------------------------- Throughout Gloria Folmer forsakes the playfully nerdy aspects of Headphones and instead plunges into a mature examination of relationships and rites of passage. "I don't have the fortitude, and you don't have the time," sings Folmer on "Warmth of a Dryer," looking for answers when he knows none are available. With an emphasis on distorted guitar accompaniment, Daniel Folmer is on the precipice of something brilliant. Review of "Gloria" by Darryl Smyers, Dallas Observer -------------------------------------------- Denton folk singer Daniel Folmer puts it all out there in his lyrics: fear, insecurity, self-deprecation and regret over love gone awry. Hunter Hauk, Dallas Morning News/Quick -------------------------------------------- Daniel has received radio play on Sirius satellite radio, KERA 90.1FM (Dallas/Denton/Fort Worth) Radio Universidad (Baja, Mexicali), KNTU 88.1 FM (Dallas/Denton/Fort Worth), and Hollow Earth Radio If you would like a record for radio play, just send a message. Daniel Folmer: " Gloria " $7 "an intoxicating folk album" - hunter hauk, dallas morning news Daniel Folmer: " Wear Headphones " $7 "a brainy yet engaging debut." - Darryl Smyers, Dallas Observer Daniel Folmer: " A Leaf " $7 Order "Wear Headphones" online at Gutterth Records Or download the album off iTunes Order "Gloria" online at Gutterth Records Or download the album off iTunes Order "A Leaf" online at Gutterth Records iTunes coming soon!
