about

Danny McDonald has long been hailed as one of Australia’s finest and most underrated songwriters.

Since the early 90’s he’s released, played on, helped write, recorded or appeared on over 75 CD, vinyl and digital records both as a solo artist and alongside a growing list of well-known Australian artists.

‘Modern architecture’ builds on McDonald’s growing body of classic guitar pop work while showcasing a master songwriter in his prime.

From the melodic jangle of ‘Cordyline’ to the punky pop of ‘Judge me for my art, not where I live’, there’s a noticeable depth to this collection of songs that confirms what indie pop fans have known for a long time.

‘Modern architecture’ marks McDonald’s first partnership with producer Craig Pilkington and singer Anna Burley, both from much-loved Melbourne band the Killjoys.

While Pilkington’s classy engineering and musical performances add the sheen, Burley’s angelic vocals provide the perfect counterpoint for McDonald’s powerful melody lines.

Meanwhile, long-time collaborators Tim Mills (bass guitar) and David Kleynjans (drums) hold it all together with their watertight rhythms and pop sensibilities.

‘Modern architecture’ will be released in February 2020 on limited edition vinyl, CD and via all digital platforms through Melbourne’s Popboomerang Records.
