David leads the troops in Rhys Chatham"s guitar armies, was a member of Jonathan Kane"s band February, and performs regularly in a duo with Tortoise"s Doug McCombs. He"s collaborated with Tim Barnes, Thurston Moore, and Loren Connors and his guitar work with his own band, San Agustin, is the stuff of which fleeting blues-drone dreams are made. With influences rooted in blues, American minimalism, and post-punk ideologies, Daniell"s guitar playing is always inspired; when fused with his intricate electro-acoustic compositions, the results are breathtaking.
