Silvery Beast is Daniel's second album of intricate, obsessively orchestrated instrumental music, following on from 2011's Our Wet Geometry. The music on these solo records is quite different to Daniel's work with The Infinite Three, with the acoustic guitar being the backbone to many of the tracks. Daniel Knowler is the founder of the Actual Size label and has worked with various groups outside of music's mainstream, including The Infinite Three, Leisur Hive, Cindytalk and Slunq.
