Oct 14, 2015These are candy-coated rhythmic noise pop songs, and they're astounding.
-
Oct 26, 2015Life isn't exactly a concept album about becoming a parent, but it's clear just how much the experience has changed Friel, as it captures all of the excitement of first time discoveries and all of the possibilities that lie ahead, which in turn makes the music feel like his most innovative and playful yet.
-
Oct 14, 2015His astounding new Life is even more songful, all the more impressive considering his claustrophobic medium that he gleans so many colorful variations from, à la Fetty Wap.

Dec 2, 2015On Life, Friel doesn’t venture too far from his own post, but does prove himself yet again as more than a mere dial-twiddler, a virtual dungeon master that plots campaigns with sound instead of words.
-
Oct 21, 2015Give Life some time and you might find it infecting your synapses, too.
-
Oct 14, 2015On Life, Dan Friel's beats and rhythms come off less stingy and cloaked, allowing the noise to finally meet the listener (almost) halfway.
-
Oct 20, 2015Life fits nicely in succession with its predecessor, as both do with Friel’s decade of solo output before them.
