Background notes

Archive material and source history

Daniel Amos formed in Seattle in the late 1970s around Terry Taylor, with early members including drummer Ed McTaggart and bassist Tim Chandler. Their first album, 'Horrendous Disc' from 1978, mixed psychedelic rock with experimental sounds, setting them apart from other Christian rock acts of the time.

Through the early 1980s, they put out records like 'Shotgun Angel' and 'Doppelganger' that built a following. Taylor's lyrics often dealt with faith and doubt, and songs like 'Traps, Ensnares' from the 1983 album 'Huzzah!' drew some criticism for questioning religious conventions.

Their sound kept shifting on later albums such as 'Fearful Symmetry' and 'MotorCycle', which brought in folk and electronic touches. Taylor has continued to make music under the Daniel Amos name, with songs like 'Noelle' and 'Bibleland' in their catalog.
