Dane Conover - Everything
File Under: New Wave
I feel like I'm on Square Pegs! This is classic new wave. But that's good. I'd never heard of this band/album until a kind contributor sent it my way. It's a fantastic rip and well worth your time. I'm thinking powder blue trench coats with grandma's brooch and a lot of mousse.
From Trouser Press:
A one-man synth army from San Diego, California, Dane Conover (here dubbed Trees) offers a wonderful collection of modern musical ideas and clever tunes that efficiently combine up-to-date electronics with old-fashioned rock instruments, tossing in inventive production and intelligent, provocative lyrics. Sleep Convention is a stunning debut which shows remarkable originality and talent. That this record died the commercial death is not just incomprehensible, it's criminal.
