For years, musician and songwriter Daniel Spriewald collaborated with and backed numerous artists. As the bassist for Serum (Brick Red Records), he co-wrote their debut album and for a variety of projects by such artists as Randy Cooke (Five for Fighting), Kenny Arnoff (John Mellencamp) and Juan Alderete (The Mars Volta), Spriewald contributed his wide-ranging instrumental talents.
“Full Capsule,” Spriewald’s solo debut, is a labor of love that was produced by Matt Sherrod (drummer for Crowded House, Beck). While “Full Capsule” is pop-rock in fashion, a myriad of styles from alt-rock to Americana are woven seamlessly through the album and evokes comparisons to John Mayer, Gavin DeGraw and the Foo Fighters.
Fiction Company's debut EP, Maps And Measures, is a result of their extensive, varied influences. Their work has previously appeared on the soundtrack to Blood and Chocolate (a cover of Billy Idol’s “Flesh for Fantasy”) and the Napoleon Dynamite soundtrack (“Design”), Grammy-nominated as Best Compilation Soundtrack Album in 2006.
In addition to being an accomplished musician, Los Angeles-based Lurssen is a three-time Grammy Award-winning mastering engineer for his work on the soundtrack to "O Brother, Where Art Thou?", the highly acclaimed box set for "Martin Scorsese Presents The Blues" and the Robert Plant Alison Kruass record, "Raising Sand".
