New Album – “Arc of Night” !

So grateful and proud to announce “Arc of Night” out June 28th on Three Lobed Recordings! The first lead-off track, “Last Light”, is available now on all digital and streaming platforms. The album is also available for pre-order (black or “lunar surface” grey vinyl, digital) directly from the Three Lobed Bandcamp page.

This music is intended to be a sister to last years “Arc of Day” – an album that brought together elements of Danny’s solo output alongside some amazing collaborators who helped extend the sound into new and exciting sonic places. At the core of it all was drummer/percussionist, Rich Douthit, who has been instrumental in shaping the creative trajectory of this material. To honor this, we’ve decided to name this release “Danny Paul Grody Duo”.

Making records is a joint effort. We have been fortunate to welcome back deep buds Chuck Johnson (pedal steel) and Trevor Montgomery (electric bass) on select tunes and to have maestro Jay Pellicci (Brothers Chinese Records) by our side taking on both engineering and mixing duties. We also want to give a BIG thank you to artist Billy Joe Miller for creating another beautiful album cover, Donal Mosher for penning a vivid album forward, D. Norson for his design & layout skills, Carl Saff for mastering with careful ears, and to Cory Rayborn for once-again offering a loving home for this music to live.

We truly hope this album offers some respite for you. 💜

With Love,

Danny & Rich 💫

Announcing new album + lead-off single + video!!!

I am overjoyed to announce the arrival of my new album, Arc of Day, taking flight June 16th on Three Lobed Recordings! You can hear the first single, Light Blooms, on all digi platforms and watch a video by Ian Albert via the Uncut premiere here.

Finding the words to describe how much this album means does not come easy, but here goes…

One of the single greatest aspects to making music is getting to share it… to set something free and watch it take on a life all its own is something I will never take for granted. Even more life affirming is getting to share the creative process with others and witnessing something entirely new emerge. This was my intention from the get-go and Arc of Day is the result of that effort.

I am incredibly grateful to Rich Douthit (percussion), Chuck Johnson (pedal steel), Jonathan Sielaff (clarinet), and Trevor Montgomery (bass) for joining me and truly helping to elevate the music. Mega thanks also goes to collaborators, Billy Joe Miller, for gracing the album cover with his stunning painting, Donal Mosher for writing a beautiful forward, D. Norsen for his impeccable design skills, the Brothers Chinese Recordings (Jay and Ian) for vividly capturing this music in a studio setting (a first for DPG!), Carl Saff for his mastering wizardry, the amazing team (women-owned!) at Gold Rush Vinyl, and to Cory Rayborn for giving this music a home and for steadfast belief in what I do.

You can listen to “Light Blooms” on your preferred streaming service. The full album is available for pre-order on Bandcamp (180 black or orange LP, digital) or from your favorite retailer.
