CHARTattack: NXNE Showcase Review @ C'est What 06.19.09
If these three left one lasting impression, it's that they've constructed some of the sweetest vocal harmonies in modern music. If the band doesn't work out, they can always fall back on careers as choir directors.

CHARTattack
This album is definitely a journey. When you reach the end, it'll feel like you've witnessed a carefully planned work of art coming to fruition. In Deference Of A Broken Back will stay in your stereo for months while you try to unravel all of its intricacies.

Paste Magazine, Band of the Week 05.25.09:
Like any good escape artist, the band’s refusal to surrender to presumed restrictions seems to be the key to their success.

Said the Gramophone:
...In Deference to a Broken Back gives life and thrill to a genre I had mostly left for dead. This is folk-rock still fiercely flowering, bloody bleeding, finding new trees to climb.

RELEVANT Magazine:
...anyone who doesn’t find themselves swept off their feet by TDCW is too cold-hearted for my company.

Daytrotter:
The passion that is inside every one of the Daredevil songs generates feelings of...tantalizing possibility where the sky can break off from the dirt that holds its roots hostage.


Biographical

The phrase, "the agony of the leaves," derives from hot water pouring over tea leaves. As the tea steeps and the leaves unfurl, they release various flavors to the water, evolving the taste. While The Daredevil Christopher Wright's debut album, In Deference to a Broken Back, doesn't dramatize the agonies given them, they do face the weighty issues of cancer, death, and loss with a realistic and offbeat tone. Their joyful music is layered with the profundity of small moments that flavor life.

The first notes begin with Jon Sunde of Eau Claire, Wisconsin, who studied classical voice, plays tennis, and dislikes fruit in his desserts. Mutual friends introduced him to Jesse Edgington, frequently clothed in grandpa sweaters with a knack for making some mean pesto, and finally, Jon's older brother Jason Sunde came on board after some hesitancy and a stint to Finland. And the music continued to evolve.

Two years ago, Jason's struggle with a back injury inspired the recording of In Deference to a Broken Back, the band's debut full-length (release date: 5.19.09). Mixed by fellow Eau Claire friend, Justin Vernon of the acclaimed Bon Iver, each song offers a story, whether centered on the true events of a brother's move to New England ("The East Coast"), or fictionalized as in the couple who have plans to be a playwright and stewardess ("Stewardess"). It is the depth in the mundane they prefer, the grouping together of "faith and rocks and slings and things" ("A Conversation About Cancer"). The Daredevil Christopher Wright are the park bench overlooking a mighty river, the subtitles to a foreign film, and the back screen door left to slam shut in the excitement of a ten-year-old on a summer day. - Abi Zimmer
