dannika - Austin Town Hall

New Tune from Dannika

January 11, 2021 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Late last year we heard about Dannika, one of the latest acts to sign on to work with our friends at Osborne Again Music, and now there’s another single to share with you from the Melbourne bunch. I love the song’s natural bounce, both from the rhythm section and that lead guitar line; it builds up the immediate infectiousness that helps the song land in that sweet spot for the listener. Match that up with just a slightly deepened vocal, and you get this perfect little bit of pure pop magic. The band will release their new album Gems on January 29th!

Dannika Shares First Single from Gems LP

December 14, 2020 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

As always, I try to listen to the Aussie tip hotline, where I was pointed in the direction of Dannika, who just announced the forthcoming release of Gems, slated for release in January. For me, what I’ve found interesting on my repeated listens is how the song seems to straddle two varying styles. On one hand, the music has this casual pop feel that fans of the Melbourne scene will surely be familiar with; you know that I’m a fan! Still, the vocals, 95% of the time, feel like they might fit in with a Waxahatchee or Big Thief style; it definitely gives off a feel that’s slightly different than what I’ve come to expect from the region, which makes it refreshing. Figured it’s a nice way to get you started on this week! The LP drops on January 29th courtesy of Osborne Again/Spunk.

Beautiful New Dannika Tune

April 12, 2016 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Some songs come through the stereo, and they have this immediate impact on your soul…seeping deep within. Generally speaking, those are the ones I fall for the most, which is where I am with this Dannika track today. Her voice struck me as soon as it enters, soulful and lonely; it’s matched by the solemn tone of the guitar on this single. But, while that sold me, the extra bonus comes late in the track when a barely audible male voice echoes her performance from the distance. Damn it this song is good. Play it once, play it a million times, then look for her For Peaches EP, which is being released by Solitaire Recordings; it’s coming out on May 16th.
