Berkeley just composed a new song that was featured in CBS's "Without a Trace." The episode aired on 2/12/04. The song is called "Fire Sign." It's not on The Confluence, but go to www.davidberkeley.com for a listen. Berkeley also has released a second record (available through the little yellow link on the left) called "After the Wrecking Ships." Check it out today. Rollingstone.com calls David Berkeley "a double fantasy of Nick Drake and Donovan," describing his voice as "sweeter than incense and peppermints." Billboard Magazine says "Berkeley may have what it takes to win wide appeal... his melodies are fresh and sweet...his lyrics, often captivating." This new collection of songs, "The Confluence," is a layered wash of natural sounds, warm like a tumbler half-full of bourbon, smooth as the silk square in your coat pocket. The album features guitars, mandolins, acoustic bass, cello, African percussion, trombone, sweet harmonies... The influences are there: Nick Drake, Ryan Adams, Elliot Smith, Aimee Mann. But David Berkeley sings from his marrow bones, and his writing is honest and refreshing, a conscious turn away from empty pop music and yet with melodic hooks that will linger in the brain. You can catch this comet by its tail as David Berkeley orbits into stardom, or you can buy "The Confluence" now and be one of the first guard who will claim David Berkeley as the new darling of the folk world.
