some music I've been listening to

......................................................................................................

 Violens

.Lansing-Dreiden art collective side project.

Sounds like The Zombies and Lansing-Dreiden meeting

in  a 80's UK indie rock purgatory

Dennis Wilson - Pacific Ocean Blue

Just got this re-release.  So beautiful ... So sad and dreamy.

It's like David Gilmour and Dennis met for drinks, talked about "Smile" and

wandered the pier of Santa Monica through the night. I'm blown away by this record. 

So original and heartfelt. What a sad and gifted man ... you can really feel it

Longwave - Secrets Are Sinister

One of my favorite bands and constant source of inspiration. They are

back to their old tricks. Picks up where "The Strangest Things" left off

Huge guitars ... melodic dreaminess 

......................................................................................................

Empire Of The Sun - Walking On A Dream

It's laid back Aussie dance music mate. Love Steele's melodies, falsetto, and vibe always.

What really intrigues me is this rumor that I have been hearing about 

Daniel Johns and Luke collaborating on a country/pop project 

called Hathaway/Palmer. In its infancy they were calling it SteelyDan ... get it.

This is exciting
