Daniel Kleederman

After a half-decade as a dedicated collaborator, lead guitarist, and music director for indie darling Bartees Strange, where he “help[ed] redefine the sound of indie rock for the 2020s” (Rock n’ Roll Globe), Daniel Kleederman chose to let go of the festival lights and international tours to bring his attention to his own music and path. Releasing Another Life, his debut LP, featured as one of NPR’s “Best New Albums” during its release week in early April, was his first order of business. The record, a heartful journey through the depths of love and loss, is a “genre-bending lesson in songwriting.” Says Jammerzine, “Every song has a distinct sound while, collectively, making sense in that we are hearing the emergence of a new and original artist. This, to me, is a breath of fresh air in the indie music world…You will find a favorite track on ‘Another Life’, and that track will change from time to time…you will listen again, and again, because this is an album that is as interesting as it is memorable.”

Often drawing comparisons to Jeff Buckley with his emotive, rangy falsetto in toe, Kleederman’s song explorations are grounded first and foremost by his formative relationship with the guitar. Anyone who sees Daniel Kleederman perform understands his intimate and loving relationship to his instrument; in his hands, the guitar appears both an extension of self and a portal to other worlds. Kleederman’s friendship with the guitar remains a timeless force, ever-present in his current work, on and off stage.

Daniel is very excited to return to Troy to perform at the LUNA series, where he will be exploring songs and stories, new and old, along with ambient spaces inspired by the natural landscapes of his childhood, just on the other side of the Taconic Mountains.

Rock & Roll Globe is honored to share the brilliant opening track to Another Life today on the site, “A Knock At The Door,” a song that slowly builds into a soulful crescendo of magnificent, serpentine guitar playing.”

“Compromised Positions” is a sublime, guttural, vertiginous spiral into the incorporeal… a twinkling tearjerker that spins between honey-sweet shoegaze and preposterously frenetic indie rhythms…a gargantuan feat”
