"Adeline Hotel (Brooklyn, NY) released debut LP “Leave The Lights” in September 2014 on Future Oak Records. Recorded throughout
2013-14 with producer and engineer Danny Rose (Steady Sun, Hypnotic
Brass Ensemble, Vamanos!) at his studio in Bushwick, the record features
members of Steady Sun, as well as Magnolia Electric Co.’s Mike Brenner
on lap steel. Distinguished by a knack for eliciting the stylings of
seminal Americana songwriters, “Leave The Lights” marries this influence
with the lo-fi traditions of contemporary players like Angel Olsen and
Blake Mills."
Adeline Hotel is the moniker for songwriter Daniel Knishkowy who recently relocated from Brooklyn to Pittsburgh. The folks over at the amazing Daytrotter released a set he did last week and he is beginning to play around town more and more so definitely go check him out. I want to thank Dan for taking the time to participate in this edition of First/Last.
The first album you ever bought?
I think "The Moon and Antarctica" at Cutler's in New Haven (RIP).

Least favorite/most disappointing
album?
Love the album, but I get annoyed every single time at how quickly they fade the sax solo in "Walk On The Wild Side". Let that shit play! Anyways...

First concert attended?
Not sure if it was the first, but my friend split his head open at a Taking Back Sunday concert when we were 13 so let's go with that.

Favorite concert ever?
Field Report in a barn in the middle-of-nowhere Iowa on one of those perfect early fall nights.

Least favorite concert?
Nothing comes to mind, but anytime I can tell the person I came with isn't really into it.

Any thoughts, experiences about
Pittsburgh?
Still new to town, but I've been finishing up the songs for the next record and recording an EP in the meantime over at Wilderness Studio with Jay Vega. It should be out later this year on Pittsburgh's Future Oak Record Co.

Thanks, Dan. Great to hear you are planning on releasing new stuff and I must say you are working with the best people in town!
