Final album in progress

2011-11-29T13:11:00.000-08:00

If anyone is even reading this, preliminary work has begun on the sixth and final dasto album. This record will different insofar as it will be a full collaborative effort, so it can't possibly be any worse than the other shit. Recording will begin in the next few weeks and it should be available by the end of next year.

There will be a very limited press of commemorative plates (see below) and the songs will be available to steal online.

This is the last ringing note in a long chorus of fuck you's, thank(s), and goodbye.

Never Mind The Bandcamp,

2011-03-31T11:09:00.000-07:00

In an effort to stay wealthy I have started a Bandcamp profile for Dasto. It is a work in progress, and much like this site, a perfect waste of time.

You can find the page here.

You can also download my new album from there (for free).

Dasto music video

Cinematography Reel from Micah Van Hove on Vimeo.

**SPOILER ALERT**

This is actually Micah Van Hove's cinematography reel set to one of my songs. It is not an official Dasto music video, but it should be.

Dasto goes to Hollywood

2010-08-27T16:12:00.000-07:00

A couple Dasto songs appear in a short film entitled 'Sleepwalking'. No, not THAT Sleepwalking film. This Sleepwalking film.

I realize no one watches movies for the music, but you should definitely see this movie anyway and just close your eyes. Forever.

Stupid Children is born

2009-07-20T13:00:00.000-07:00

Dear Fan(s)

The bad news is Dasto is on temporary hiatus while I take guitar lessons.

The good news is, instead of taking guitar lessons I have started a new music project entitled STUPID CHILDREN.

It should suck as much, if not more, than Dasto did/will.

Here is the official myspace page for some reason:

STUPID CHILDREN

Love And Let Die - review(s)

2009-07-06T13:49:00.000-07:00

My most overlooked album of 2009 is finally getting some much appreciated internet recognition:

HAMMER SMASHED JAZZ - review of L.A.L.D

And since I am already filthy rich from Dasto royalties, here is a link to download the entire album for free:

LOVE AND LET BUY

Love And Let Die

2009-03-17T10:50:00.000-07:00

My newest album is now available for purchase on CD from Sounds Asleep Records.

"The follow up to his excellent Tired Fire album, Love And Let Die continues the explorations into minimalism and guitar drones...shows a darker sound even more melancholic in mood to its predecessor, whilst also revealing more of the guitar sound from under the layers of effects..."

Music For Rehab

2009-02-14T12:31:00.000-08:00

Music For Rehab was officially released today on 500 Records and is available to purchase at the following sites:

Amazon

iTunes

LimeWire Store

and probably some other music sites that I'm not aware of.

The Perfect Valentine's Day re: Gift

2009-01-28T12:09:00.000-08:00

Finally there is an honest answer to the age-old question: what do you get the person in your life you have already given so much to?

Buy your significant bother the greatest gift of all the time. My album Music For Rehab is being officially released from 500 Records on February 14th, and what better way to express your love/interest than with this uplifting album about my dead father?

Love And Let Die

2009-01-13T15:02:00.000-08:00

I just finished recording my fifth album entitled Love And Let Die. I really don't know how to describe the end result. I should say it was meant to be an ambitious record, but labeling ambient music "ambitious" is like calling dog shit decadent.

This picture says it better than I ever just did:

Dasto on Sounds Asleep Christmas Compilation

2008-12-23T11:08:00.000-08:00

from sounds asleep

"As a special christmas gift we present 8 free christmas songs in MP3 format from some of the people involved in sounds asleep. the link below will take you to a download .zip file containing music from Dasto, Dirty Hope, Grohs, Dave Graham and newest associate Bobby Corridor. They were going to be put into the order of an album, but we'll let you decide on that for yourself. Its all been a bit rushed, but i think you'll agree that the music is a perfect antidote to the deluge of christmas songs in the shops and on the radio..."

Dasto Is The Greatest Non-Profit Band

2008-11-03T11:33:00.000-08:00

I'm pleased to announce that my music is now available to download from Indmill.

This site offers inexpensive high-quality mp3 downloads of entire albums, and a percentage of the sales gets donated to a charity of the artist's choice. In my case, 100% of the profit will go to Shelter; an organization in the UK that helps the homeless.

The reclusive and courageous wife owner/artist responsible for the cover art for my album "Dreary Sounds From A Pleasant Motherfucker" has a website displaying his many works.

See if you can find where he proudly displays the album art he made for me.

4. Pink Cigarettes

I haven't even finished recording my new album and already I am receiving awards for it. Here is an advanced copy of one I was just handed by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.

Futility Routine For The New Shit Me (Beau Finley remix)

Beau Finley of Beau Finley fame, has graciously remixed the above mentioned track off my Tired Fire album and did a fantastic job of doing so. Please have a listen here

Dasto is pointless

2008-05-02T16:00:00.000-07:00

Until i can get a real website made, this will have to serve as an official site. Those of you familiar with my music will know that this is completely pointless and those of you new to DASTO will just have to believe me when I say that I'm a big fucking deal and this is totally necessary.
