T.O.L.D.

T.O.L.D. (The Order of Life and Death) emerges as an enigmatic presence within the electronica and alternative music sphere, captivated audiences with a blend of haunting melodies, introspective lyrics, and a distinctive sound that deftly merges electronic elements with traditional songwriting. The brainchild of British artist Daniel James Smith, who relocated to Los Angeles, T.O.L.D. has carved a niche for himself by crafting music that reflects on existential themes, human emotions, and the complexities of life and death, all while pushing the boundaries of music production and sonic experimentation.

From the evocative storytelling of "Emily I’m Sorry" to the soul-searching vibes of "Coexist" and the atmospheric journey of "Nightfall", T.O.L.D.’s discography showcases a diversity of influences and an ambition to explore new auditory landscapes. The recent EP, "As The World Burns I Play My Guitar", is a poignant reflection on global and personal tumult, underscoring Smith’s ability to weave together the personal and the universal in his music. Tracks like "Ignition" and "Long Long Summer" from the EP not only demonstrate Smith's evolving sound palette but also his skill in creating music that is both deeply personal and resonantly universal. Through his most recent releases, T.O.L.D. has solidified his position as a thought-provoking artist unafraid to explore the darkness and light of the human experience.
