Static Diary
– In The Press
“Scott Danbom
creates moods. His ambient-centered sound uses traditional (and sometimes
not-so-traditional) instruments to fill a space with a calculated atmosphere
that also employs the blank space between to let each sound air out organically
and unmarred. – KUTX, Austin
“It’s an adventure... Unassumingly infectious.” – PopMatters

About Static Diary
"It's a hopeful song about searching,” says Denton,
Texas-based Scott Danbom of “Phrase From Business,” the single taken
from the former Centro-Matic
member’s debut solo album under the name Static
Diary.
The track was recently named a “Song
of The Day” by Austin-based NPR-affiliate,
KUTX.
“Of course it comes with a generous helping of sarcasm
with the idea that any self-help book about business acumen can be thrown out
the window when it comes to approaching a life philosophy,” Danbom continues. “The chorus ended up
sounding like a B-side by Mark Linkous
of Sparklehorse. I love chimey
glockenspiel-type bells!”
Static Diary’s self-titled full-length arrives on July 27th via Goliad Media Group, and Danbom will play a record release show
at Denton venue Dan’s Silver Leaf
the following evening alongside label mate Margaret
Chavez, the solo moniker of Marcus
William Striplin of Pleasant Grove,
who also released a solo record on the Goliad
Media Group label earlier this year.
In addition to his work with the pioneering
alt-country band Centro-matic, Danbom is a veteran performer and
accompanist, who has also worked with Centro-matic
leader Will Johnson (who appears on Static Diary), as well as Sarah Jaffe, Drive-By Truckers, and many more throughout his long career. As Danbom explains, Goliad’s Chris Welch
played an integral role in motivating Danbom
to bring his debut solo album into existence.
“Talking to Chris
about my work, and the idea of Goliad
as an outlet that could capture some of what had been collecting throughout the
years, really inspired the latest collection of ideas and songs,” he says. The
record is a long time coming for Danbom,
who has been composing since he was a child.
“I’ve been writing and arranging pretty much since the
first time I sat down at the piano,” he says. “I entered a couple of
composition contests in early grade school, and the first synth I owned
inspired countless compositions in high school and college.”
Even so, while Danbom
has had the good fortune to play with many prolific writers and original voices
throughout his professional life, he confesses that this scenario “can stall
your confidence when you are trying to find your own voice. It was always in
the back of my mind to find a situation where I could focus this creative
energy.”
With Static
Diary, Danbom succeeds at
bringing his haunting keyboard and vocal arrangements, and his experimental
ambient and instrumental concepts, together under one roof. He describes these
divergent artistic personalities as “a word and a symbol that mean the same
thing but just have a blurry, different feel. Nothing too complex and nothing
too simple.”
Static
Diary, the debut solo album by Scott Danbom, arrives July 27th, 2018 via Goliad Media Group. Danbom
is available for interviews. Contact Josh Bloom
