J.M. Hart: Holding On

Singer-songwriter J.M. Hart stretches out on Holding On, a track from his forthcoming new album Turned Around. Starting out as a Neil Young-esque gentle country-tinged song on which he acts as his own backing vocalist, he goes all out with a lengthy progressive folk instrumental part - for which he goes electric, introduced in the video by inserting a bit footage of the fake towns that were built in the 50s to learn more about nuclear bomb tests in Nevada.

To make it abundantly clear that he seriously worried, he follows up with a reel featuring the cutting down of trees and 1969 People's Park riots in Berkeley . Circling back he brings the track to a close with a second outing of his question if people manage to stay sane in the midst of the current clusterfuck.

Anton Barbeau: "Dogstar" video

Watch the new Anton Barbeau video for Dogstar,, a track from his Dig The Light album: "He appreciates the little things as a means to look at the greater picture, using old school melodic psychedelic rock as the vessel for his musings. Naive? Maybe. But also inspiring and a bit of escapism to get away from the madness has never hurt anybody." The clip was made by Julia VBHB.

Live date:
  • 08/08 Davis, CA @ Delta of Venus
