5 years is a very long time in popular music. and yet 5 years is the time it took daniel christopher smith, a.k.a. brother danielson, to complete this his newest work. in a way, danielson has, during the 5 years, let go (reluctantly, perhaps) of some family collaboratorsnamely his brothers andrew and david, the percussionists, and childhood friends chris and ted, on keys and bass/guitar respectively. while sisters megan and rachel and daniels wife elin, the essential chorus for many a danielson famile song, still appear, the bulk of best of gloucester county revolves around a completely new "team," as smith has put it himself (patrick berkery- drums, percussion; evan mazunik- piano, organ; joshua stamper- bass; sufjan stevens- banjo, vocal; andrew wilson- electric guitar. that means that best of gloucester county is not, despite the title, a retrospective best of album (that would be trying hartz, the last danielson-related release), but rather a statement of intention. danielson is now a locally-owned and locally-ambitious entity, and, in this case, a locally-released (gloucester county) album, since this is the first danielson release on daniel smith's own sounds familyre label in the us. seizing the means of production! the whole represents a new and welcome chapter in the danielson oeuvrea startlingly effective new band, produced with more sonic ambition than any recent danielson effort, but without sacrificing the brave interior journey that we have come to expect from daniel christopher smith.
