Out now, Ethan Daniel Davidson's first album in seven years, Silvertooth!



Ethan Daniel Davidson's first album in seven years, Silvertooth, is out now on the Seedsman Company! The album is produced by Warren Defever, best known for his longtime band, His Name Is Alive, on the legendary 4AD label and for his studio work with bands like Iggy and the Stooges, Rachel Haden, Yoko Ono, the GO, Elizabeth Mitchell, and many more. And debuting as co-producer is Gretchen Gonzales Davidson, who's previous work with Slumber Party (Kill Rock Stars) stunned with their slow femme doom rock and late-night vibe.

Silvertooth is a departure for those familiar with Ethan's previous work. Due to life throwing the many curveballs at us that it tends to do, his recent return to the studio unleashed a series of personal songs that have a real warmth and very natural feel. His voice is strong, standing right next to the drummer, they recorded the songs with live vocals. They didn't wear headphones, they did it the old fashioned way. Listening to Silvertooth you can tell this was an organic process. 

Ethan Daniel Davidson celebrates the release of Silvertooth this Saturday night in Detroit at the DSO Music Box. For promo copies of the album, interviews, guest list, or anything at all, don't hesitate to reach out!

Early press for Silvertooth:
"Possessing a warm and natural feel, Silvertooth is filled with deeply personal songs that mirror the many curveballs that have been thrown at Davidson since the release of his last record." Paste

"Ethan Daniel Davidson is that kind of legendary folk singer who supposedly died off a generation or two ago. He’s been all over the country, he knows the words to any song you could request, and most importantly, he’s a master storyteller." Magnet

"Silvertooth puts Davidson’s voice and acoustic guitar unadorned in a very analog way, leaving producer Warren DeFever with a clean palate to color in with atmospheric tones, N’awlins dirge horns and a bed of reverb to lay down in when it gets dark enough." Glorious Noise

"...a bit of Tom Waits darkness has been injected into the old Ethan poetic folk rock sound." Detroit Metro Times

"Davidson’s life lessons and philosophical brooding come through in ‘Ain’t The Man I Used to Be,’ a song that feels weathered and wise beyond Davidson’s years." Diffuser.FM

"The album is loose, combining the wails of drunken, New Orleans-style horns with a rambling percussion section that threatens to derail the whole thing in a thrilling, party-on-the-edge-of-a-cliff sort of way. But Davidson & Co. manage to keep the train chugging in a celebration of traditional music that defines Americana, much as the highways that connect the dots. It’s about the journey, not the destination." Hour Detroit
