DAN FROM DOWNINGTOWN Releases New Album ‘Some KiNd oF nOormal’

Some KiNd oF nOormal is the latest album from DAN FROM DOWNINGTOWN (Chester County, PA). After one listen, audiences will confirm that their unique indie-alternative sound is, frankly, anything but normal.

The DAN FROM DOWNINGTOWN project was born in 2022, yet the true identity of Dan has yet to be revealed! All of their art, videos and images online have a black box, thus hiding their identity and spiking the curiosity of their fans. This brings a fun enigmatic element to the whole branding of the artist that actually makes listeners excited! In today’s internet age, we are begging for artists to make us feel and entertain us, to be a vision, to be more than a band in t-shirts and jeans, and DAN FROM DOWNINGTOWN is doing just that. And for this, they catch your attention.

Commenting on the album, Dan states:

“My debut album Some Kind Of Normal (spelled ‘Some KiNd oF nOrmal’ for streaming services), is a conglomeration of all of the singles that I released in the past year, as well as a few other songs to tie it all together. While I don’t want to give away too much regarding the concept of the whole album, it seems to be thematically darker, than the songs on my previous EP.

“Instrumentally, there is a common orchestral theme throughout the album, however each song features a unique combination of guitar, bass, 808’s, electronic and live percussion, synthesizers, and vocals. In general, I feel like I have started to finally develop my sound with this one.”

Proving their strong writing abilities, DAN FROM DOWNINGTOWN takes elements of rock, electronic, and post-punk to create a hybrid of alternative indie music, which is the debut album, Some KiNd oF nOormal.

Thematically the album has a somewhat mystical tone, where the vocals are shrouded in a heaviness that threatens to tip just over the edge into darkness. There’s a feeling of present-day indie, alternative rock that features lush strings and sweeping melodies, yet there’s also a spirit of 2000s acts such as Team Sleep and Sparta. The orchestration throughout the album is evocative and expressive, immersing the listener in a unique combination of guitar, bass, 808’s, electronic and live percussion, synthesizers, and vocals.
