Dat Record Store Day tegenwoordig vooral een door de grote platenlabels gedomineerde commerciële gebeurtenis is, zal niemand ontgaan zijn. De zogenaamde exclusieve uitgaven van platen die iedere muziekliefhebber allang heeft, zijn vaak alleen interessant voor oude mannen met linnen tassen die hun Beatles collectie graag compleet willen houden, of voor snelle ratten die hetzelfde spul even later aan al wat verder gedementeerde oude mannen via Ebay verkopen. Ik heb zodoende een gloeiende hekel gekregen aan het fenomeen, doch ik moet bekennen dat één "speciale" release afgelopen zaterdag zonder meer mijn aandacht trok. [...]

Danny Paul Grody, ossia fondatore dei sempre lodati Tarentel e mente delle evanescenze jazz marchiate Drift. Qui, per la prima volta, in veste solista, scegliendo intrecci di chitarra con retaggi Aerial M. "Fountain", questo il titolo dell'album, scorre fra rimandi post e lontani echi folk, bilanciando atmosfere acustiche ed elettriche intrise di una sottile malinconia svagata. [...]
Danny Paul Grody's Fountain is the first full-length solo recording by one of the founding members of San Francisco's Tarentel and the Drift. For those familiar with these music/art based acts, Fountain is a sweet reminder of Grody's subtle guitar work -- a cornerstone of both projects that often doesn't get center stage in the ambitious mix of instrumentation, field recordings, and sound-scapes that make up the bulk of these bands' output. Not that Fountain...
Grody comes not only from one of my past favorites but from two greatly loved RSTB bands, having spent time in Tarentel and more recently in The Drift. The connection to The Drift was the first thing that caught my eye with this release, and though its much closer in structure to recent solo guitar outings that have cropped up across the American landscape the tone is as bittersweet and somber as anything in Grody's canon. The pieces don't ramble or bubble like Junghans or Bishop; rather they chime in a mournful but emotional way that sometimes recalls Chasney, occasionally [...]
mit "fountain" legt danny paul grody seinen ersten solorelease (15.01.10, root strata ) in die waagschale. wer zunächst mit dem namen nichts fangen kann, dem werden die glocken läuten, wenn er erfährt, dass grody gründungsmitglied von tarantel und the drift ist. beide in san francisco ansässig und dem dortigen küstensound verschrieben. seine zunächst in "heimarbeit" entworfenen musikalischen ideen, die später im studio einen feinschliff erhielten, konzentrieren sich auf die ganz speziellen einflüsse, denen sich grody unterworfen sah: die kora musik westafrikas, dazu die arbeit amerikanischer underground akustikgitarristen und [...]
