Danielle Fricke unveils video for Dizzy, LP Moon available online

It’s fair to say we are big fans of Ontario’s Danielle Fricke here at WTD, first for her work with Snow Mantled Love, and then for her solo career, which began with the gorgeous instrumental EP, Burrow, and then her debut full-length, Moon (a song from which we we lucky enough to include in our Quiet Constant Friends project, complete with original artwork by Amor Coetzee).

Moon, released on Seattle’s Porchlight Coffee & Records, was originally a physical-only release but the 24th May saw it’s official ‘digital’ unveiling, meaning it’s now available for your purchasing pleasure on the Danielle Fricke Bandcamp page. If you need reminding as to why you should indulge, this quote from our review might help:

“Moon is a lesson in stillness (albeit a frantic, twitching stillness of false starts). Here we have a moment stretched out, questions asked but not answered, a monologue that might never leave the room. The wonder of the album is that the human emotions of love and longing never evaporate, continuing to push through the frost where they are warmed by earthshine, opening up the possibility that the very feelings which caused the pain could be the things which end it. So while the narrator is trapped, they never submit to the vacuous silence of space. Hopes are still hoped and dreams are still dreamed and wishes are cast from cold, cupped hands, skywards.”

To mark the release, Fricke has made a video for the single, ‘Dizzy’.

So head on over to Danielle Fricke’s Bandcamp page to download Moon, or, if you are a vinyl person who missed it the first time around, head to Porchlight Coffee & Records and snag a copy before they’re all gone.
