Begushkin is the masterwork of Brooklyn's swinging sultan, multi-instrumentalist and masterful songwriter

Dan Smith & friends. Begushkin's debut full length Nightly TThings is an 8 track journey into a creepy &

disturbing surreal nightlife full of enemies, coarse love, and violence delivered with both a manic

desperation and deadpanned absurdity that's augmented by Smith's intricate guitar picking & a woman's

mournful harmonies.

Nightly TThings takes the time honored American Gothic themes and recasts them in a witches brew of

middle eastern and eastern European musical influences. The result is a beautifully disorienting trek

through the wilderness of Smith's disturbing mind like some successor to Michael Hurley's twisted,

yet sympathetic Werewolf first introduced some 40 years ago.
