British, Devon-born singer-songwriter Daniel Schamroth is celebrated for his stripped back, soulful, indie folk anthems. His lo-if sound sits somewhere between the worlds of Noel Gallagher, Ryan Adams, and Neil Young, paying homage to these influences while carving out his own emotionally charged style. Schamroth’s music is certain to connect with audiences through his raw storytelling and introspective lyrics.
His latest release is an acoustic track titled "Skyscraper," released by independent label So, Let’s Talk. "Skyscraper" is an intimate stripped-back acoustic home demo recording, written by Schamroth himself, and produced by Tom Greenwell. The songwriter shares, “Skyscraper was written in the early throes of romance, when you first meet someone. You feel like the world's your oyster and you're out exploring that secret world together, feeling unstoppable and full of possibility.”
“Skyscraper” emits a raw edge with a melancholic tone. Featuring just a simple guitar melody and Schamroth’s emotion-fuelled vocals, the track proves that less is more.
