Cracked Actor

Video for David Shane Smith's 'Actor' starring Sasha Gransjean.

I met Sasha Gransjean last September at Stroboscopic vs Unknown Theater and then at Casual Carousal at The Breakfast Club where he shared the bill with a certain DSS. They actually did a duet together - something about hiding the body...

My write up the next day was pretty accurate:

David could well be the new Leonard Cohen. Poetic lyrics and finger-picking acoustic guitar but updated with a sampler and some other electronics that elevate him into lo-fi Idle Tigers or Beck territory. The American Momus? Possibly...


The rest (as they say) is history...
