Daniel Thorne’s record Lines of Sight has consistently been one of my best friends since its release in 2019. I first discovered Daniel’s music when my dear friend Peter Broderick showed me his side project Immix Ensemble & Vessel while we were spinning records in a cabin at the Oregon coast back in 2016.

There’s something about his way with harmony that feels like it’s from another world and I love being fully immersed in this world.
