Fifteen years into his musical career, Denison Witmer has recorded a self-titled album, his most direct statement to date. In a world obsessed with 'branding' and constructed media personas, he chose to call his tenth album Denison Witmer because "I started thinking about the implications of what it's like to work in an industry where I operate under my own name," Denison explains. "And my ultimate goal as a musician is to be honest with people, first and foremost." "My ultimate goal as a musician is to be honest with people, first and foremost." This honesty is the hallmark of Denison's songwriting: personal lyrics, lack of pretense, and complex acoustic guitar work, mixed with gentle ambience and patient production. With help from William Fitzsimmons, label-mate Sufjan Stevens, and Devin Greenwood (Norah Jones, Amos Lee), Witmer crafts songs that have depth, but are easily accessible, with a lyric honesty that resonates with fans.Vinyl with download.
