Today, Daniel Rossen releases “Unpeopled Space,” the second single off of his solo LP You Belong There, out April 8 via Warp Records. “Unpeopled Space” reflects Rossen’s time in upstate New York, where he built a life amid wilderness that always tried to close in around him before moving to Santa Fe, NM where he slowly built the world that is You Belong There largely in his high desert home. The song features Grizzly Bear’s Christopher Bear on drums and percussion as well as Amber Wyman on bassoon. The song follows lead single “Shadow In The Frame,” which earned Best of the Week nods from NY Times, Pitchfork and others.

The landscape surrounding You Belong There is Daniel Rossen’s sophisticated and visceral consideration of what comes after the restless enthusiasm of youth. It's a riveting 10-song reintroduction to a voice that sounds both entirely familiar and fully re-energized by the act of unfettered expression and newfound self-sovereignty. Rossen performed almost all of the parts on the album himself, with Chris Bear contributing to 9 out of the 10 songs. Best known as a guitarist, Rossen took up woodwinds, too, buying several cheap student models and learning just enough to understand the rudiments.

In support of the new record, Rossen will embark on a 34-date North America and Europe tour this spring. Tickets available here: https://www.danielrossen.com/tour 
 
For nearly two decades, Rossen had been a crucial component of Grizzly Bear and is a founding member of the acclaimed folk and electronica outfit Department of Eagles. You Belong There follows Rossen’s 2012 EP, Silent Hour/Golden Mile, critically acclaimed and rated an 8.0 by Pitchfork, who called it a “majestic song cycle full of fingerpicked notes that babble like tributaries.”
