For the longing listener, the music of composer Dan English is the communing of the head and the heart sharing secrets. Born in a quiet town in Iowa, he grew up chasing invisible things: codes in books, echoes in movies, half-sentences in songs. English found himself glued to the radio from an early age and after picking up guitar at 10, language and sound conspired.

Following a move to New York City, Dan released his first album “Fruit Boy" in 2018 followed by 2020’s “In Grace” EP. His newest offering, Sky Record (June 2025), is his second full-length album and continues to expand upon and probe the depths explored in his previous work. The music is part confession, part séance— lush spells where the sacred and the stained trade places. Emotions arrive in disguises: tenderness (smoke), grief (rhythm), silence (a cathedral on the verge of collapse).
