David Singer writes literate pop songs in every conceivable style. His work has drawn favorable comparisons to Elliott Smith, Tom Waits, Stephen Meritt and Randy Newman.
Bio / Background
Over the course of three acclaimed solo LPs, David Singer has become a fixture in underground music, renowned for his polished songcraft, incredible versatility and sophisticated lyrics, heralded by major magazines and bedroom bloggers alike.
David’s new LP, East of the Fault Line, is a major step forward. It is both tender and literate, evoking the best work of Elliott Smith, Ray Davies and Tom Waits while maintaining a sound and a sensibility all its own. The songs on East of the Fault Line are widely varied stylistically, from the White Album hum of “Command Overhead” to the melancholy jazz of “So Long, So Long”, on through the reverb-drenched crunch of the title track. The wistful “Little Charles”, in fact, was composed as part of David’s score for Steppenwolf Theatre’s August: Osage County, which will make its Broadway debut in November 2007. But make no mistake, these songs are part of a whole – a thoughtful, sincere record about memory and regret.

East of The Fault Line was recorded at Chicago’s Engine Studios with Balthazar De Ley. David enlisted some new blood for these sessions, including Cory Gray (The Decemberists, Norfolk & Western) on piano and trumpet and Ron Kwasman (Bombay Bicycle Club) on guitar, who joined Howard Windmiller (drums) and Mike Simons (bass), longtime DS associates.
David Singer has previously released three LPs, The Stars Burn Out (Engine Studios), Civil Wars (Deep Elm) and The Cost Of Living (Deep Elm). He composes music for film, television and theatre, and for progressive causes and candidates around the U.S., including NRDC, American Cancer Society, Congresswoman Melissa Bean (D-IL) and Congressman Harry Mitchell (D-AZ). David is also one of the directors of the Intonation Music Festival.
