Withered Hand (solo) featuring Pam Berry
"He records like Billy Childish and mixes like the Blue Nile" Darren Hayman
"The UK's best lyricist" King Creosote
"Heard a Withered Hand track in the caff; then saw a boy in a WH T-shirt.
Is Dan Willson taking over the world?" Stuart Murdoch (Belle & Sebastian)
He just might be. Over the past few years Withered Hand aka Edinburgh DIY folk-rock troubadour Dan Willson has released an outstanding debut album, Good News, become a much-loved member of King Creosote's Fence Collective, and won fans including Jarvis Cocker and Rolling Stone Magazine (who decreed him "Artist to Watch").
He also struck up a friendship with indie statesman Darren Hayman (of Hefner), which led to a recording session in Hayman's London studio late 2011. Some of the fruits of their labour were released in the UK on the raucous Heart Heart EP and the rest unveiled on the more reflective Inbetweens EP, available outside the UK on Icelandic label Kimi Records from the end of 2012. Again, mastered by seminal US producer Kramer and its evocative artwork is by Paris-based artist Marion Hanania.
More recent Withered Hand shows have included occasional collaborations with Pam Berry of seminal 90's US noisepop band Black Tambourine and a rotating cast of musical friends embellishing Dan's exuberant and original songwriting alongside more fragile and uplifting solo performances.
Whatever form WH takes in the future, a long-awaited second album is now scheduled to be recorded in Summer 2013.
"Killer melodies wobbly folk grooves tunes full of warm, woozy sing-song charm"
Artist to Watch - Rolling Stone
"Beautifully constructed lyrical frameworks on this banjo-tinged brand of Caledonian gospel"
