Iron & Wine- Glad Man Singing (from Daytrotter-January 12, 2011)
Do you guys know Daytrotter? Do you? If not…it is time.
In the past six years, Daytrotter’s growth has been pretty remarkable. Through their success they have helped many bands expose their music to an audience that is constantly growing. This audience is filled with eager music fans ready to listen to new bands, old bands, or bands they’ve wanted to listen to, but haven’t yet had the chance to do so.
Daytrotter’s recording studio and headquarters are located in northwestern Illinois, so a lot of the bands that have hit up Chicago in the last couple years have also hit up Daytrotter to record a couple songs live. After the band records, Daytrotter does all the technical stuff like engineering and converting the songs to MP3…then eventually releases the session.
Often times, Daytrotter is the reason I end up buying an album. And then sometimes when I buy the album, or hear it on Spotify, I end up liking the Daytrotter sessions more.
If you haven’t check out Daytrotter yet, a couple of my favorite sessions are Iron & Wine (Sample song above. Probably my all time favorite thus far.), Typhoon, The Tallest Man On Earth, Other Lives, and S. Carey.
