FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Armed with the dream of a moody collection of songs sung
by his favourite artists, Windsor native Daniel Victor approached
people with cold calls and backstage maneuvering until he
had a fistful of lead singers willing to follow his dream to a reality.
"The idea was to put artists from popular bands in a completely
different setting than they were with their own bands," Victor told
Chart Magazine last month.
The result is the unpredictable and haunting debut album Act I:
Goodbye Friends of the Heavenly Bodies by the project Victor
has dubbed Neverending White Lights. Released across Canada
on September 27th by Maple Music, the album took four years of
sweat and toil, coaxing and cajoling, with recording sessions in
Scotland, Sweden, Malibu, Vancouver and Victor's own studio in
Windsor. At a time when disposable, canned rock tops the charts,
NWL is enjoying airplay alongside the predictable on stations like
FM96 in London, ON, with the track "The Grace," featuring Alexisonfire's
Dallas Green on lead vocals. Daniel Victor penned all of the songs
on the album, but sought singers as diverse as Nick Hexum of 311,
Sharky Laguana of Creeper Lagoon, Scott Anderson of Finger Eleven,
Chris Gray of The Black Marias, Raine Maida of Our Lady Peace and
Jimmy Gnecco of Ours to interpret the words in their own way. An
innovative and unique concept, the album harks back to a more
experimental era when Bowie dared to collaborate with Eno or the
4AD label in England married players from its myriad bands on three
stellar This Mortal Coil albums.
