Daniel Knox has never been one to overdo his music. With albums such as his self-titled album and Chasecene, Knox mastered a fine balance between lavish instrumentation and a sound that lets lyrics take center stage. Despite the fact that Knox has been producing quality music for years, he remains one of the more underrated artists in his field, which is a real shame.

This has its obvious influences for comparisons, but one person the lyrics call to mind is a certain Joshua Tillman.

If you enjoy this check out Everyman For Himself and his self-titled record, they're both great also
