Future Plans
Danielle's new album, Frontier, (Manimal Vinyl) was written and recorded at home in the wintery isolation of Northern New Mexico, where Danielle now resides. Written first as a series of interrelated poems, then later set to music, the album unfolds as a sort of constellation of tales, inviting a narrative reading but perhaps without all the lines drawn in. What results is a wildly imaginative journey into the cosmos, where concepts are reduced to light and matter and mystery. Lifting the mythology of space exploration and the conquering of the wild, western forests, and aided by Danielle's intricate collage style and a remarkable host of synthesizers, the featured instrument is still Danielle's crystalline voice and the careful way she uses it to serve the magic of the song. "Frontier" was released on vinyl LP and iTunes on October 14, 2008 on Manimal Vinyl, and she is confirmed to be appearing on the label's tribute record to The Cure. A deluxe enhanced CD of "Frontier" will be released on Manimal Vinyl in early 2009.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or plans:
“The future of humanity is uncertain, even in the most prosperous countries, and the quality of life deteriorates; and yet I believe that what is being discovered about the infinitely large and infinitely small is sufficient to absolve this end of the century and millennium. What a very few are acquiring in knowledge of the physical world will perhaps cause this period not to be judged as a pure return of barbarism.”
—Primo Levi (1919–1987)
“In order to become spoiled ... a child has to be able to want things as well as need them. He has to be able to see himself as a being who is separate from everyone else.... A baby is none of these things. He feels a need and he expresses it. He is not intellectually capable of working out involved plans and ideas like “Can I make her give me...?” “If I make enough fuss he will...?” “They let me do ... yesterday and I want to do it again today so I’ll....””
—Penelope Leach (20th century)
