Seven years ago, NYC-based singer-songwriter David Bronson began work on a 22-song
autobiographical breakup record collectively titled The Long Lost Story. The
second half of that work, Story, is now available at long last
(its prequel The Long Lost will be released in the near future.)
Music blog Higher
Plains says that “Times,”
the album’s first single, “sets you up for the fantasticalness that is David Bronson” with the Taken By Sound
site claiming the album is “one of the most unexpected musical gems that I’ve
managed to stumble across this year.”
Sonically, Bronson’s
Cat Stevens-esque vocals have a
plaintive humility, and an emotionally rich, melodic, resonance. His style as a
guitarist stems from an upbringing spent dissecting the spidery playing of Jerry Garcia and the classic rock
exoticism of Jimmy Page.
“In middle school, I would pick apart Zeppelin songs start to finish and
eventually began improvising over them.” Bronson
also became a fan of the sound of the records themselves. “Individual producers
became as influential to me as artists,” he says, citing favorite sonic auteurs
like Daniel Lanois, Jeff Lynne, Nigel Godrich, Brian Eno,
and Phil Spector.
In addition to his solo work, Bronson has composed instrumental, ambient soundscapes for
filmmaker Jennifer Elster’s “In The Woods,” the first installment
of Elster’s upcoming film series
entitled “The Being Experience.” The
project is an unflinching look at existence, featuring a cast of actors,
thinkers, and musicians including Dave
Matthews, Moby, Questlove, Rufus Wainwright, and Yoko
Ono among many others.
