about

"With discreet orchestration worthy of Van Dyke Parks and poignant, quavering vocalizing, D.K. Daniels' fourth release, Sharp Teeth, is a collection of musical dramas rife with ambiguity, wry understatement, and majesty." Mark Keresman, SF Weekly  

"An intriguing debut" Andy Gill, The Independent  "...A film set with deserted forecourts, snow shoes and front porch singalongs..." James Cowdery, bbc.co.uk  

"Eschewing the complex calculus of what makes music "good," David Karsten Daniels' first widely available LP, Sharp Teeth, is a reminder of what makes it necessary." Brian Howe, Pitchfork  

"...the North Carolina-based songwriter's Sharp Teeth (FatCat) is an ingeniously arranged exploration of post-Bible belt relijun-related worries and concerns, majestically rendered with slide guitars, Dixieland drums and brass, and sweeping strings." John Payne, LA Weekly

  "Whether it's a boney acoustic number ("Jesus and the Devil"), a lush and crowded boiler ("Minnows"), or a permutation of both (the rest of the record), Sharp Teeth never sags under its own weight, balancing light and dark masterfully." Robbie Mackey, XLR8R
