Following a series of single and music video releases, Los Angeles singer/songwriter/guitarist David Haerle recently released his sophomore album Death Valley, in May.
The album is for seekers, wanderers and grand adventurers. The marriage of guitar-driven rock to a shimmering California sound calls out to the best of classic American and British rock.
The 15 songs included on Death Valley were selected “based on a feeling and what I thought would make a good listening experience,” Haerle explains. “Death Valley is the culmination of where inspiration took me during this period in my life. We rock pretty hard in places. We take it way down in others. I sing about renewal, how we lose our way and then find our way back. There’s a lot of love and gratitude expressed on this record and hopefully people find beauty in some of what we have done.”
Today we’re excited to premiere the video for his track “Self Made Man” – below! The video takes us in studio and gives us a focused and up-close look at the incredible musicianship on display on “Self Made Man.” The track feels like the perfect soundtrack for the open road, filled with memorable guitar lines and impressive songwriting in every respect.
In his own words:
“The concept of being a ‘self-made’ man is questionable in my view. I think we can take some credit for working hard, persevering, getting up when we are knocked down, etc. But I believe if most of us look honestly at what it took to get where we are, it would include help from others and some lucky breaks. If you were born in a middle-class family in the United States, you probably have a lot of advantages over many other people in the world. If you’ve inherited gifts, well you can thank your forebears. And then there are all the folks who touched our lives, maybe gave us a lift when we were low. We can look up to our historical leaders and those who fought and sacrificed to create positive change in society. We are a global community, a local community, and no one’s success is an isolated success.”
