Dan Webb announces new album ‘Sunshine/Dialogue’

Over a four year period, Melbourne producer Dan Webb set about interviewing a range of artists including Grammy Award winners, Rock and Roll Hall-of-Famers, and emerging indie upstarts. These conversations informed the creation of his fourth full length album, Sunshine/Dialogue, to be released June 9.

Of all the artists he spoke with, Greg Saunier of Deerhoof was the one whose words were most impactful. So much so, that Greg’s philosophical musings are directly sampled on the album’s emotional centrepiece, ‘A Good Song’.

“When the definition of a good song becomes a proscription, it’s completely useless,” Greg’s voice can be heard to say over an expansive soundscape. “You want the opposite. What you want is a good song to become undefined, so that everything that has been proscribed is now allowed, everything that has been unheard can now be heard.”

Dan’s music has often been described with terms such as ‘electro-jazz’ and ‘psych-rock’. And while this is accurate in some ways, it only tells part of the story. Dan’s conversations with diverse artists have led to a genre-less approach that needs to be heard to be understood.
