Daniel Rossen - Shadow In The Frame (Official Video)

Daniel Rossen - Shadow In The Frame (Official Video)
www.danielrossen.com/
The idea for this came in part from the 1971 TV special “The Music of Nilsson” in which Harry Nilsson looks to be performing live and then begins to multiply and harmonize with himself at the piano. It’s a ridiculous and also kind of lonely performance. Luke and I felt that something similar but darker and more claustrophobic could reflect the tone of “Shadow in the Frame."
I also liked the idea of a unique performance tailored to the video itself. It was an opportunity to home in on the anxious inward energy underneath all the layering of the album version.
Taken from the new album ‘You Belong There’ out Friday April 8 via Warp Records.

SHADOW IN THE FRAME LYRICS
taken on your last shape
now carry these lines through the canyon
all these hills will surely wash away
all these hills will surely wash away
one at a time the lamps died
left shapes in the dark I can’t describe
all us sightless creatures find our way
all us sightless creatures find our way
underground
great plates that crack and groan
and break apart
the earth shaking miles below
one more living nightmare
born to a world that don’t care
the truth is always brighter than you say
the truth is always brighter than you say
but it’s your fate
you will watch us flash and fade
and get torn apart
this place wild beyond control
conversations we will never have
a scene from another time
flashing by
my only person
a shadow in the frame
flashing by

Everytime I listen to a Daniel Rossen composition, whether it's solo, department of eagles, or grizzly bear, I feel like I'm listening to music for the first time. I never know where his progressions will lead. There's such a sense of tension and fear that gives way to discovery and wonder.

[@helenejouin8817]

You couldn't have described better the way I feel... His compositions seem to open a wide world of its own kind.

[@Nickee_Sonicjinn]

I believe Daniel is not capable of making mediocre songs. His music always amazes me without fail! I'm so much waiting for Rossen's new album and I really want to see him live one day.

[@NickGibbsmusic]

The new record is perfection.

He's touring in May and June! If you're in Europe or the US

@@Merlincat007 Sadly, I live in Seoul, South Korea, but I’ll definitely fly to the States to see his live some day! Thanks for the information, tho.

@Funky Abzu I’m sure his concerts ate worth it, it’s just too unlikely to see him live where I live. I might have to fly to the States to see his gigs! :) Thanks for the lovely comment.

To exist if hardly at all, returning to the crumbling soil of the Earth, the mantle dancing below us, steam and fire above us, everything, so expansive and beautiful. We are lucky to even know it for a moment, and some of us are even luckier to be able to express that feeling the way you do, through beautiful song writing.

[@elig2714]

This was beautiful too

[@infjon]

I remember going to see Grizzly Bear in the bay area and was fixated on how beautiful Daniel's vocals sounded live - they just blew me away.

[@dangeroustoothpaste]

One of the great things about Grizzly Bear is that both Rossen and Droste have amazing voices that are both completely distinct from one another and also unique in the world of singer's voices.

[@mikestokes6124]

It’s hard to believe Silent Hour/Golden Mile is ten years old now. I’m so excited to lose myself in a new batch of songs from you. Your music is an inspiration. Truly one of the best songwriters and guitarists of our time! Thank you Daniel!

[@nomaddd123]

Dear Daniel, as a longtime fan, thank you so much for doing this album and pouring all this out. It's incredibly refreshing to see a virtuoso of the instrument, and a master of the songwriting craft both at the same time, pulling this music off in this day and age with so much humility, tenderness, and finesse all at once. This gives me so much hope for various different reasons I can't even explain, watched it with a smile. Thank you.

[@terenceh5997]

At 62, I will be older (by at least a decade) than most everyone at this Saturdays Brooklyn Made show, and you know what? I don't care! Brilliant musicianship.....going to be so good to hear the new songs for the first time that night!

[@luisj.m2471]

Cheers! Music can't have age limits

[@mattengland653]

You are in for a treat! Got to see him here in New Orleans last week - true musicianship on display. His guitar playing is completely unique among his contemporaries. It amazes me how there is not more buzz around Daniels solo material. The Grizzly Bear work is also outstanding but the more sparse arrangements here really highlight his songwriting ability in my humble opinion. Enjoy the show!

[@luisj.m2471]

@@mattengland653 So envious of you! I hope someday he gives a show at Mexico City. And I'm baffled too by the lack of recognition of all his superb musical offerings, I don't think he yearns for fame but he definitely deserves more acknowledgement.

[@mellowtron214]

*Daniel Rossen always stands out in my mind when I occasionally get this painful gut feeling, thinking that he might not know how greatly his music has impacted my life for the better. All the tiny moments where I am just moved and the suffering of life is alleviated by his music later gives me a sense of dread that he may not know these moments exist and are of his creation. I think of him struggling to maintain a livelihood and thinking this is all for nothing. And here I am just having my fucking soul obliterated, cleansed, and reformed by his music, and the disconnect hurts my feelings. Like weeping at a painting and the artist is penniless on the streets only to die thinking his work was never appreciated. IT IS APPRECIATED. I have had profound peak experiences listening to Daniel’s music. I remember when Silent Hour/Golden Mile came out, I took mushrooms and blasted it while I laid on a raft in a pool, under the full moonlight watching the clouds rush by. Up On High kicked it off and I had a full blown out of body experience hearing that song for the first time. I was everything, I could not tell where my skin ended and everything else began. I was a stick figure who could feel the paper he’s drawn on to and the table beneath that and the pencil etc. And that was straight up MAGIC. So, I only hope that Daniel lays his head on his pillow at night and doesn’t sweat that his art has improved a humans life out there. Him not knowing is a painful thought with how much i know it.*

[@Clu3Pengu1n]

So good to see you releasing new stuff. Department of Eagles was such a huge part of my adolescence. Been a huge fan of yours ever since.

[@ChrisFeeney]

This is like a lighthouse guiding me away from a stormy sea of bad music. Absolutely Beautiful.

[@theworldismelting]

I love it when you can strip a song back and it still sounds amazing. It also goes to show that the album version doesn't sound over-produced in comparison to this, and that the elements incorporated only help to elevate the melody rather than bury or complicate it.

[@gilbata]

Album version has an extra layer of amazingness that makes these amazing harmonies shine even brighter.

[@danieloduntan1983]

Came across this well shot video via an IG story ad and must say it's one of the best placements ever. Vaguely know of the Grizzly Bear catalog, which I will be exploring in the next few months, but I heard this and "It's A Passage" off the album and was straight away taken back by the skilful and emotive song writing, reminds me very much of Chris Cohen's "Overgrown Path", snips of Fleet Foxes "Crack-Up" album and even early Paul Simon but all the while still being very Daniel Rossen, great work.

[@rallokkcaz]

Overgrown Path is another song writing gem, feel like not enough people know about Chris Cohen

Music an art form that evokes the purest emotions through the ears , to the soul and heart. Only real genuine musicians who play instruments can do... thank you👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 bravo

[@mattengland653]

Fortunate enough to see him live at a very intimate show in New Orleans last week where he was also selling vinyl of the Ad yet unreleased new album! It is a gorgeous album start to finish to be sure. The man is a consummate musician. His unique playing style and tuning selection on “Unpeopled Spaces” in particular makes it sound like there are 2 or 3 guitars playing at once while live. I actually mistakenly thought the bass notes in one of the verses on the album version was a horn or cello but it is just the way he thumbs the bass notes on the guitar. You can hear it clearly live. Very creative playing. Amazes me how such an accomplished musician and songwriter doesn’t receive more recognition than he does. Hopefully that will change after this album!
