From the academy of deep soul and no ego, Reverend Baron delivers visions of liquor store East LA, the off-the-freeway dry mirage of slow motion graffiti and lonely seagulls. A nylon stringed zen fog with themes of woozy love, layered dimensions of nostalgia and glazed neighborhood tales that roll in with a natural ease. After notching a permanent status in the skateboarding orbit as Danny Garcia, he transferred his effortless style, dedication and authenticity into music. Practicing a philosophy of demystifying the process and doing it yourself, he has become a proficient multi-instrumentalist, engineer, and producer of his own and other artist's music. All streams of curiosity converge into the river. An enigma, Reverend Baron emerges from the proverbial gray overpass with no sense of urgency. He takes a sharp gaze at his surroundings and processes them through a factory of depth and gentle swag to yield a sound that sits as easy as fallen molasses on the bodega shelf. The songs are an unassuming invitation to either walk through the doorway or lean on the wall outside, either way something beautiful and rare.

REVEREND BARON is the musical project of Danny Calcia, the legendary top rider for Habitat Skateboards. The album is released on KARMA CHIEF RECORDS, a sub-label of COLEMINE RECORDS—one of the top funk labels in the U.S. known for its string of outstanding releases. Although only two tracks are available for preview, the music—drawing on influences from new soul, AOR, rock, and folk—is a laid-back, urban dream pop that could very well become a new standard for West Coast rock; it’s simply breathtaking.
