Reviews

Without a story, there can be no tragedy
This album triumphs in the same way life itself triumphs; it exists as a testament to its own existence.
Jumping into the abyss: frightened, exhilarated and smiling the whole way down.

Artist In Residence

Hometown: Philadelphia
Through the years Denison has received critical acclaim from Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, Pitchfork and more. He has also inspired younger artists, such as Sufjan Stevens, William Fitzsimmons (who play on his new album), Damien Jurardo and Noah Gundersen. However, after eight albums, he has flown just beneath the radar and has remained a "best kept secret." "Denison Witmer," the self-titled new album just released on April 30 via Asthmatic Kitty Records, may change all that.
