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
