4/10/24.
Jamie at Audio Antihero alerted me to this new release from Oxford, England (now living in New York) based musician Max Blansjaar. "Anna Madonna" is pure pop perfection that make Ray Davies proud. I keep thinking of the music of Eugene McGuinness and The Magnetic Fields when I hear this song.
Blansjaar is only 21 years old and his command of pop also reminds me of Sondre Lerche. "False Comforts" was recorded with Katie Von Schlieicher.
The full album will come out in June via Oxford, England label Beanie Tapes.

The Nighthowl Saloon was having an unusually busy night. Hoot had proclaimed that he would be the one to take down the Night Beast, and word of this promise got around quickly. His passion and willingness to throw himself to the wolf had brought back most of his regular customers and drawn in some new ones. Annie should have been happy that the bar was doing so well. She tried to be excited for Hoot. But all she felt—surrounded by people who were unknowingly rooting for her slaughter—was fear.

Being a classic rock fan is so funny. Why am I invested in the neuroses of some guy from half a century ago
