SPOTIFY
Fumbling by Danielle Ate the Sandwich, is the artist’s 8th full length release, with lyrically driven tunes touching multiple genres. The album is the recipient of an Inspiration Grant from ArtsKC, and the first single, “It’s Not Jupiter,” won Best Song By a Local Band from the Pitch KC’s Best of 2024. Fumbling features songs written about loss, leaving an old life, and finding a new home.
“The songs featured on the album were written in the years between leaving Fort Collins, CO, where I had lived for 18 years, and the steps I took to relocate and carve out a new home in Kansas City. During this time I lost a beloved grandmother, and my silly and happy dad. During this time we all lived through the strange and isolating experience of the Covid-19 pandemic, and during this time I met my partner, fell in love, and we bought a house together. These songs live up to the same mission I’ve had all these years as a songwriter. When I write, I want to tell the truth even when it’s hard or weird, always hoping to bring in more people who have felt the same.”
The album was recorded in Kansas City, KS, by Fritz Hutchison, and produced by Fritz Hutchison and Al Hawkins using all local musicians and artists. The recording and release process aims to bring together a community of musicians, artists and makers, with the intent to celebrate and support these artists with financial compensation, to develop connections for future collaboration, and to help introduce Danielle Ate the Sandwich as a member of the musical community of the Kansas City region.
