Findlay Brown - Separated by the Sea

discovered him through the Beyond the Wizard's Sleeve remix. the album is actually really great. totally sounds like all my favorite 70s singer/songwriter acid folkies. cyrus faryar, bobby brown, armando piazza, shawn phillips, jimmy spheeris, hoover, paul parrish. it totally sounds like it could be from the era, but there's amazing modern production. haunting slide guitar and strings all over it. only a couple of times do you realize the record's current.

it's kinda neat. sorta reminds me of Beta Band. modern psych type shit, but not corny. first song has really distorto bass & drum machines and almost sounds nu rave :-0

This was up on eMusic very briefly and managed to grab it before it was taken off. Can't believe that there hasn't been more buzz about it becuase it's really quite special

idk, i feel like I'm not supposed to like it, but it felt like he was paying tribute to Phil Spector without fetishizing his sound (see: Pipettes). I imagine others might disagree?

that is, see Pipettes as an example of fetishizing Spector, hate them
