In 2008, Major Chord released its self-titled debut album to rave reviews:
‘Both comforting and confronting in all its unabashed loved-up glory. A minor classic.’
Chris Girdler, Beat
‘An emotional and intimate record with well-polished songs that seem to have been discovered from an early ’70s singer-songwriter’s basement, transcending time and fashion…recalling the splendid Iron & Wine at their best.’
Con Sarazan, mX
‘Singer-songwriter/guitarist Dan Flynn and violinist Kate Connor weave an undeniable magic…Major Chord is as delightfully soothing as it is surprising.’
Justin Grey, Time Off

Major Chord presents The Rabbit Hole, the follow up to its critically acclaimed self-titled debut album.
Pardon the pun, but this album has depth… It goes down, down, down into the mind and soul of its creator, Dan Flynn, and emerges through the folk-pop ramblings, double-meanings and melodic dealings of Major Chord.
Album track ‘Hey my name is Joe’ is a rollicking Neil Young-esque adventure aided by sublime vocals, guitars and keyboard reflecting Dan’s experiences as a social worker. The title track ‘The Rabbit Hole’ offers a metaphor for birth (amongst others) and symbolises the dynamism of life, while the track ‘Single File’ is a Johnny Cash-influenced rant about the virtues of thinking for oneself.
Major Chord has delivered an album of unique beauty. It offers a place in which to wander or hide; each song with a story folded neatly inside.
