Dan Wilkie is a singer-songwriter and a folk rock artist. He tells stories, projects, scenery and landscapes with his music. The places he inhabited as he made the song forms readily for the listener to experience and immerse in. There is a contemplative atmosphere in it, but also a feel-good flow that you can just flow into. His latest release is ‘Melodybox’, a nostalgic and slice of life recollection of experiences and emotions of the protagonist. With warm baritones paving the way to each theme, the album makes for quite the listening experience. 

Taken from the album is ‘Goosebumps’. It is the introductory track. With its mellow theatrical elements, performative vocals and quirky melody sequence, it is easy to lose yourself in its reality. The guitar work is fluid and intuitive, straight out of a folklore. Its repeating grooves, nodding rhythms in the verses to the loose, floating islands in the chorus, and then the intricate play in the bridge. There are acapella harmonies that also add to this. It is all so creative, a fantastic experience in quirky morbidity. If you enjoy artists like A Great Big World, Panic! at the Disco and the like, you’re sure to enjoy the work of this artist.

The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
