Daniel Tissingh began playing a found and broken classical guitar – repaired by a Venezuelan electrician – spending his pre-teen years in community housing in southern Spain with the constant ebb and flow of diverging nationalities and ages, and myriad musical delights.  At 14 he used his saved pocket money to buy a 30 watt amp, 2 plectrums, a lead and a very rusty-stringed fake Strat.

The recent story is predictable: bands, upgrading gear, teaching guitar all over town, more bands, shitty gig nights with shitty promoters, degree at Goldsmiths University, more song writing, and eventually, present day. 

The latest is a five track EP entitled The Road You Walk, which will be released on Friday the 4th of November. Produced by long-term collaborator Daniel Moyler this is the first body of work since their warmly received full-length album early last year. Recorded in the contrasting arenas of Miloco Studios and dingy home set-ups, the EP merges two live vocal/acoustic performances, live rhythm section, and a heap of harmony overdubs. It will be delivered through a series of weekly singles dotted throughout the month of October - ending with a live bonus track as part of the full EP. Each of the four singles is inspired by life’s most common interactions: friend, family, partner, and stranger. The Road You Walk invites them all (in that order) to the same banquet - a respite on life’s worn path - to celebrate the commonality of our struggle and existence.
