Dafni's new album, Sweet Time, out this October!
Dafni’s fourth album, "Sweet Time", takes a conscious look at her past, her relationships, and various facets of her personality. It will be released on October 19, 2010, on her own label, Daffer Doodle Music.
The diminutive singer, who writes Americana music throwing in twists of country, jazz, and pop, is a familiar face in L.A.’s Americana scene, performing her heartfelt songs — accompanied by her adept fingerstyle guitar playing — with her band: Mark San Filippo on drums, Geoff Rakness on upright and electric bass, and Peter Kavanaugh on lead guitar.
"Sweet Time" is Dafni’s most personal — and musical — recording to date. The catchy and enchanting "Anything At All" opens the collection, centered on Dafni’s delayed guitar drone and peppered with Kavanaugh’s graceful guitar interludes; it is inspired by her feelings toward her husband and details that wonderful moment of first realizing complete comfort with another person. The title track, "Sweet Time", deals with a runaway’s torment: whether or not to reconcile with the people she left behind. And "Under The Blue Skies" describes a search for a personal heaven.
"Sweet Time" features 11 original songs written by Dafni. The album was produced by Dan Janisch and engineered and mixed by Dennis Moody in his Los Angeles studio. It features guest performances by Tony Gilkyson (electric guitar), Dan Janisch (electric guitar and backing vocals), Michael Bolger (piano, accordion, and trumpet), and Lisa Finnie (backing vocals).
Marina Tait and Eve Moon created a music video for the title track to my new record. You can see it here:
