We Bet Our Money on You

VINYL FORMAT + CD. Daniel Francis Doyle's newest release We Bet Our Money on You aligns with what you'd expect from the previous Early Lines member and one of Austin's few stand-alone, multi-instrumentalists. Carrying over some of those dissonant, brazen tendencies from his earlier work while espousing his ability to truly progress, his third album is clean(er), but adamantly preserves the dry 70's production qualities that Doyle and Barrett Walton of Infinity Recording are so fond of. With a handful of guest musicians Doyle articulates multiple narratives that surface and stretch throughout the album cautiously and deftly, creating space in some songs and almost belligerently inhabiting that space in others. Buttressed by his affinity for serrated sounds laid upon tapered drums, Doyle nimbly navigates through the sometimes anomalous sounds that project from his now-convenient set up. - austinsound.net
