Dan Black – Wonder
Don Black is known for some of the finest, timeless lyrics which have accompanied numerous John Barry Bond movie themes such as Diamonds Are Forerer and Thunderball, as well as – ahem – Anita Dobson’s Anyone Can Fall In Love. Slightly irrelevant as far as Dan Black is concerned, although it does go to show that you should always type very carefully when you are googling, as anyone who has researched King Cnut will tell you.
Dan Black was vocalist with guitar band The Servant (not to be confused with 80s indie act The Servants which was a training ground for Luke Haines) for the best part of a decade, but now - having relocated to Paris – has emerged as a solo act following the band’s demise last year.
His track Hypntz, a cover of Notorious B.I.G's Hypnotize, got people in a lather during the summer, enough to build a buzz around Black being the next big thing.
Black releases his first proper single this week Yours, but our track of the day is the haunting otherworldly joy of Wonder – an exercise in bleak, sparse electronica with Black’s gossamer vocal stretched across a tale of yearning and loss. If you don’t want to play this again and again, you have no soul. An album follows next year.
