TYMINSKI COMPARES THE LIGHT AND DARK ON HIS FORTHCOMING ALBUM, SOUTHERN GOTHIC.

Artist: Dan Tyminski

Tyminski releases his album Southern Gothic, Friday (October 20th). The collection of 13 songs, produced by Jesse Frasure, began when he was writing songs for other artists, but realized he wanted them for himself.

“I feel like the light and dark in this record is truly my journey, my personal journey just in life,” says Tyminski. “I mean, everyone I think can at least understand the struggle between light and dark. I made a reference a while ago, you always feel that whisper from each side of your shoulder, someone saying yeah do it, no don’t do it. I think it’s just, I don’t know if it’s that I have an enormous struggle with that in my life but it’s something that I’m aware of. I try to make sure that I understand what the right voice is. I try to make sure that I don’t make quick decisions.”

Dan Tyminski, who has been a member of Alison Krauss and Union Station for 25 years, co-wrote all of the album’s 13 songs with some of Nashville’s best tunesmiths, including Sarah Buxton ( “Stupid Boy”) and Josh Kear (“American Honey”).

I try to make sure that I don’t make quick decisions. That I – light and dark, in my opinion, sometimes can look very similar. You don’t necessarily know it’s the light hitting you when it’s hitting you, and sometimes the other way around, you don’t know it’s dark hitting you when it’s hitting you. It can feel good but it’s still dark. That comes out in my writing. When I write, I think I write from that perspective that there are underlying truths to everything that are absolute.”
