A Ninja Slob Drew Me: doaycwm
A Ninja Slob Drew Me is the project of Daniel James Brown, a Southampton UK based solo artist who occasionally brings in other artists on his albums. For his newest EP out a few weeks ago in late July, Retreat, he has embraced the spirit of collaboration, with the majority of tracks utilizing the violin and vocal talents of Jo Stevens and Oliver Barnett on drums.
The songs are said to be inspired by a range of ideas, but what unites them is a concerned and sometimes pessimistic look at the outside world. The album opens with the most optimistic song, Retreat, inspired by the natural wonders and culture of Iceland. This is followed by songs inspired by the rise and fall of empires through history, the conflict between capitalism and the environment, and even a song inspired by the film Robocop’s portrayal of a future shaped by out of control business greed! More concise and darker than previous offerings, Retreat is ambitious both in its exploration of the possibilities afforded by its collaborative nature and in the range of themes it portrays in an atmospheric, often cinematic style.
We’ve attached his video for the self-titled lead-off track below, so be sure to check it out and download the album for free (or for a small donation) at Bandcamp below.
