Splintered Tree is the singer/songwriter project and solo-performance alias of Oakland, California's musical jack-of-all-trades, Daniel Lippincott. Featured artists on this album include engineer/guitarist Marwan Kanafani and unsung hero Eric Olsen. Forward Resolution was a debut of sorts after two previous collections of rough mixes and early studio efforts were released in small scale runs: the eponymous cassette in 1996 and "Fallen Leaves" in 1998.
All three albums are on Daniel's homespun record label, Splintered Tree Records.
