When he’s not recording music with Tesseract, synthwave collaboration Zeta, solo music, or even White Moth Black Butterfly, acclaimed vocalist Daniel Tompkins is seemingly always up to something interesting. Whether it’s streaming Borderlands on his Twitch account or podcasting about industry topics, there’s never a dull moment for the Tesseract frontman, who also finds the time to do vocal coaching as well.
Recently, Tompkins has taken on some interesting songs to cover, too – with just his voice. Proving that he’s adept enough to handle different styles of music, it really shouldn’t be much of a surprise that he pulled off covers of Thrice’s “The Whaler” or Deftones’ “Digital Bath” on his channels recently. Nor should it be a surprise that they’re both really good! Don’t take our word for it, though – give them a listen below.
The vocals were tracked live, and notably, Daniel has “always been a fan of Dustin Kensrue”. We’re also surprised that a Deftones cover didn’t surface sooner.
