Danforth Hill makes gritty hip-hop/folk/lo-fi tracks that somehow sound extremely polished in the end. Acoustic guitar, gritty interference sounds and hip-hop beats permeate his collection of music so far. He samples himself. He samples wind chimes and random records he finds. He somehow arranges all of these randoms things to make beautiful music. What separates Danforth from the rest is his musical skill coming before learning to make beats and sample. I think most musicians run straight for the sampler when their musical skills are laking, but Danforth genuinely likes broken, sampled sounds, yet at the same time is an excellent guitarist/drummer/whateverelse.
