Songwriter and composer Daniel Knox‘s new album Chasescene, which features vocals from Jarvis Cocker and Nina Nastasia will be released via his own imprint H.P. Johnson Presents on 7 December. Following on from the previously shared ‘Cut From The Belly‘ and ‘Capitol‘ (sung by Jarvis Cocker), he has today shared two new singles: the swelling, theatrical ‘The Poisoner’ which is sung entirely by Nina Nastasia (who’s last album was over eight years ago) and ‘Anna14’ which finds Daniel at his most contemplative and tender, backed by beautiful, intricate piano.

Speaking of working with Nina Nastasia, Daniel says:

‘The Poisoner’ was the last song I wrote on Chasescene. I lived with someone who was secretly poisoning my food and I didn’t find out until it had been happening for several years. At that point things had already been poisoned in every other way.

Nina Nastasia is probably my favourite living songwriter. The first time I heard Run To Ruin it felt like being truly seen by someone for the first time. After I saw her perform I thought, this is something to live up to. I just admire her in every way. Her songs are these sturdy monoliths you can depend on but there’s always something new to discover in them. Her voice has this power behind it where it can carry any lyric somewhere very small and close to your ear or big enough for the whole world to hear. Seeing her play in Chicago in 2006 was what made me start taking songwriting more seriously and made me want to give myself over to it.

Chasescene is a collection of songs rooted in tradition, stories of true love and loss. Murder ballads met by Shakespearean tragedy against a backdrop of Lynchian contemporary America. A mixture of real life experiences and gallows humour. Knox journeys in and out of the lives of the good and the bad, the beautiful and the ugly; telling tales both close to home and entirely other, stories that are otherwise untold. Knox grew up spending more time in movie theatres than most people do in their entire lives, currently he works (late shifts) as a projectionist at Chicago’s historic, beautiful Music Box Theatre – occasionally enlisted to play the dusty old organ that sits in the corner of the screen. Knox’s influences (Wim Wenders, David Lynch, Errol Morris, Charlie Chaplin and Abel Gance) unsurprisingly stem from here too, the language and feel of movies are what shapes his music inside and out.

Of the many remarkable things about Daniel Knox – and there are many, he’s one of those artists who the more you look the more weird and wonderful details you’ll find about him – one of the most significant is that people don’t seem to just be fans of his, you get sucked into his world, completely enamoured. This has reaped some pretty remarkable rewards; through chance meetings and natural word of mouth Knox has worked with his idol David Lynch, collaborated with the likes of Andrew Bird, Thor Harris (Swans, Bill Callahan), Richard Buckner and David Coulter (Tom Waits, Damon Albarn, Yoko Ono). The album also features the late Ralph Carney (Tom Waits), David Coulter, Jason Toth (The Handsome Family) and more.
