The pairing of neofolk songwriter David Karsten Daniels and big-band experimentalists Fight the Big Bull is a unique crossroads between two beloved genres. For this project, Daniels adapted poems from Henry David Thoreau to use in his sweeping style. Fight the Big Bull’s work is crucial but unobtrusive, weaving flourishes and accents in and out without feeling forced.
