"Neon and Gold, the lastest from Dan Wallace is out and I urge any fan of great independent music to get a copy. From beginning to end, this disc is filled with amazing songs, rich with dynamic textures, beautiful arrangements, lush harmonies and strong musicianship.



Clearly an evolution in sound and substance over the well-received Pindrops CD (Dan's previous band), Neon and Gold shines brightly in what has bcome an increasingly dull and contrived music scene.



Stand out tracks include the infectious Fell, the very personal The Lizard and the Cat, Too Soon, Maybe, Homage and Sonatina. With that said, make no mistake, this album is solid from the first note to the last. And pay special attention to the guitar playing, an element that could easily get lost among the profound lyricism and memorable vocal performances.



Yes, this is a glowing endorsement. But this is one of those under the radar records you're gonna wish you had so you can say you were listening to Dan Wallace before he blew up."
