Daniel Darley is a singer-songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist from Manchester. Currently recording his debut album. His songs are exquisite, lyrical chamber pieces, intricately structured. Blending elegiac piano and guitar with hauntingly beautiful melodies, floating symphonic textures, and intellectual lyrics reminiscent of early Neil Young, Scott Walker, Burt Bacharach, Radiohead, and The Plastic Ono Band.
His debut single ‘Faking’ was released on AWAL in October 2022. It was described as “sublimely melodic, this is a beautiful and captivating debut” by IndieBuddie blog. The single received worldwide radio play. Shortly after its release, he headlined the Full Moon Rising Festival in Ireland. Writing about Darley Fansforbands blog said, “Immensely talented, Darley’s lyrical voice has immense potential and I’m certain this is merely the beginning of something that will stand alongside his city’s iconic predecessors”.
His next single ‘To Feel Love Closer’ was released on 28th April 2023 on AWAL and was described as “Really beautiful” by Craig Potter of Elbow.
Daniel Darley’s third single ‘Daily Cause’ is set to be released on 24th November 2023. Building from heartfelt, melodic verses to an anthemic chorus the song finishes with a euphoric and climactic outro. It has the symphonic and structural spirit of classical music combined with the melodic pop sensibilities of the 1960s with an overall chiming and cinematic feel.
