Inspired by European dance sounds, seasoned with American rock, David walks the grey space inbetween. Critical acclaim continues to grow for David's music -- simultaneously looking back fondly at '80s new wave and forward to modern electro. Ever since David released Chivalry, his first album in 1992, listeners have consistently been persuaded from skeptical doubters to admirers. His catchy melodies and intensely personal lyrics have won fans around the world. His previous album, Calliope, has continued that trend. The last year has been notable for David, even with the new album still pending. He has appeared on five compilation albums and he has rereleased his 2003 holiday album, Yule, for the upcoming Christmas. David is presently in the studio, continuing work on his newest album, Your Mileage May Vary. Watch for it in February of 2005. "....There are some really catchy, well-written pop tunes here. I particularly like the lyrical twists of 'Rip It Out', 'Love Is An Answer, But Love Is Not The Answer' and 'Actions Speak Louder Than Words' use irony in a wonderfully bitter twist in each chorus. 'Echoes' is a wonderfully slow, contemplative ballad that I find myself listening to again and again. 'Crush', 'The Coming Of The Dead' and 'Stained Glass' are all excellent songs as well. 'Crush' succeeds where 'Purple Is' fails, in that while it is a very rhythmically based song, it still is a very catchy and fun song. 'The Coming Of The Dead' is a song I don't totally understand, but still enjoy a lot. Especially the remix of the track at track 12, where the dance elements of the song are enhanced. 'Stained Glass' is almost as wonderful a ballad as 'Echoes', with some really pretty synth work anchoring the song...All in all, this is a good album...." -- Jason Baker reviews Calliope for synthpop.net, 2/28/2003 "The big surprise for me was the David Vesel track, 'Numb', as I've never heard any of his music and am now left wondering why. This track is very strong and reminds me so much of Cosmicity - and I can think of no higher compliment to pay here..." -- Si Wooldridge reviews the compilation ElectroCulture Volume 1, June 30, 2004.
