The latest from the prolificEric D. Johnsonis a gorgeously gauzy collection of folk / pop earworms indebted as much to the jangle ofByrds&Kinks, as it is the slick, troubled yacht rock of the 80s. Not quite Sunshine Pop, but more like “OvercastPop“. Johnson (who has played inThe Shins,composed film scores & most recently, earned two Grammy nominations with his other bandBonny Light Horseman) recorded the album remotely with BLH bandmateJosh Kaufman(also of Muzz & worked on Taylor’s Swift’s latest record). Also featured are collaborators from acts as vast asCalifone,Iron & Wine,Fleet Foxes,The Walkmen& more.
