Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Review the new Singleman Affair single...!

The Singleman Affair (real name: Dan Schneider), creates psychedelic new folk music, drenched in reverb, spacious sounds, sitar, guitar, and a breathy voice. In other words, he makes music a lot like Six Organs of Admittance. But while the opening track to his album Let’s Kill The Summer might sound like something that would not be out of place on the latest Ben Chasney record, the rest of the album offers something a little bit unique. Schneider recorded the album with a goal of using space to create a haze for the listener, to create a psychedelic sound that is found not in guitar wankery, but microphone wankery. He owes a lot of his recording techniques to Skip Spence, the genius/schizo who recorded “OAR” almost 40 years ago. The track included here is the single, released on Poptones, but is not necessarily my favorite track from the album, though it may be the most immediately accessible. His music does transport you to a lot of drug-induced folk music, putting everything around you at a stand still and letting yourself soak into the music. Enjoy.

Leaving a Mark/Oh To Say is released on the 16th of October.  You can order his debut album ‘Let’s Kill The Summer’ by clicking here.
