Los Angeles – Baroque-pop artist, Jacco Gardner’s new album, Hypnophobia, is currently streaming in its entirety until its soon-to-arrive release date of May 5, 2015 on Polyvinyl. Check it out below! The hype for this record has led to plenty of excitement and intrigue, as is evident by the extensive interview Gardner gave to Best New Bands back in March.
Hypnophobia embodies a true sense of exploration, bringing together Gardner’s newfound love of travel with his ongoing enthusiasm for collecting and playing vintage instruments. The record features a Wurlitzer electric piano waltzing alongside mellotrons, an Optigan, harpsichord and an antique Steinway upright piano.
Gardner’s new album is a spectacular display of rich instrumental pieces, as well as tracks that boast lyrics worthy of any great pop song. Most tradition enthusiasts would find it’d be all too easy to recapitulate the past. But that’s where Jacco Gardner’s differences lie. Playing all instruments except for drums, Hypnophobia superbly captures a one-of-a-kind artist and future-vintage aficionado creating his work at a far higher state of consciousness.
Fans can also check out the video for the single, “Find Yourself,” HERE.
