Formentera II

Days Of Oblivion

“Every season of my life has been a lesson and as I develop who I am as a person, writing music helps me reflect on where I've been and where I want to go”




Dan James made a conscious decision to start cataloging his artistic expression more than 15 years ago - in the form of writing music. 


His influence and taste takes in multiple genres including folk, country, and alternative rock. 


This Michigan native says he represents the diversity of small towns in-between cities like Flint and Detroit. 


When asked why does he write music and what inspires him, Dan says: I am constantly inspired by people and the fascinating journey of life.”


Dan hopes to convey his background and passions in his music, so people can relate to it for years to come.

In 1998, songwriting & production duo Emily Haines & Jimmy Shaw formed what would become Metric and left Toronto for NYC in search of like-minded artists. In 2001/2002, they were joined by drummer Joules Scott Key & bassist Joshua Winstead, and found themselves at the center of the city’s burgeoning alt-rock scene alongside bands like LCD Soundsystem, The Strokes, TV On the Radio, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Interpol and more. Unlike their peers, Metric resisted major label offers, releasing albums that pushed boundaries on their own terms.

Metric’s relentless pursuit of timeless songwriting and fiercely independent ethos have cemented their place as one of the most essential and ahead-of-the-curve bands of the last two decades. By constantly upping themselves across nine unpredictable and adventurous studio albums, the trailblazing Toronto outfit founded by Emily Haines & Jimmy Shaw is proof that you can amass an untouchable catalog without signing to a major label or changing your lineup. Their latest LP, Formentera II, out October 13 via their label MMI & Thirty Tigers, is a testament to their singular purpose. It stands among their best and most genre-defying work and closes the 18-song cycle started by 2022’s critically acclaimed Formentera
