Dan Arborise is an amazing guitarist and singer, his unique and haunting vocals a perfect match for his sensitive songs and incredibly complex guitar technique. Inspired by the music of Nick Drake and John Martyn and influenced by the sweet melodies and simple harmonies of Teenage Fanclub, Jeff Buckley and most recently the Fence Collective, this album is a collection of fragile acoustic songs - beautiful music, beautifully performed.
Produced and mixed by label mate
Jon Hopkins, who in addition to having 2 classic albums out on the Just Music label has been working with King Creosote (679) Magnetephone (4AD) Barbarossa (Fence) Imogen Heap, Brian Eno, Chris Coco and Leo Abrahams (Just Music / Warp), Around In Circles is shaping up to be a classic that will find its way to the forefront of the current blossoming UK folk singer songwriter scene.
Born amongst the jungles of Borneo to Polish parents, Dan Arborise has lived a nomadic life, taking him from Nigeria to South London to Edinburgh. Now residing in the wilds of the Devon countryside with only a hearth for heat in winter and his own crop of home grown vegetables, Dan has been able to devote his time and passion to recording the album over the last year.
The Digital only EP release that precedes the album release features Let It Be (which is now receiving support from specialist DJ’s at Radio One and X-FM), What We Know About Love and the astonishing To The Sea.
