Here's a little musical journey. Let's start with
Sherlock's Daughter, a dream-pop group of Brooklyn-based
Aussies. From this, extract the keyboardist and electronics wizard Jonti Danilewitz, creating:
D'Animals, then simplified as Danimals. It started as a solo outing, but
turned into a group, who
produced an odd single (which spun off
an animated music video under the name Djanimals). The group also won the chance to
work with Mark Ronson and
a bunch of well-known musicians, producing
a single with a video. Spin out a bit further, and Jonti is on his own (again), releasing
a mixtape "album" from his private collection, and most recently signing with
Stones Throw Records, where he has finally released
his solo debut album (streaming online). Bonus tangents inside.
