Danny VanZandt
Drawing from both the American indie rock of the 90s (Pavement, Built to Spill, Guided by Voices) and the singer-songwriter tradition of the 70s (Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen), Danny VanZandt’s music is an equally hooky and playful take on indie rock. With lyrical subjects ranging from speculative futures in which there’s fast food on the moon, to meditations on outdated styles of pants and the anxieties of the Information Age, VanZandt’s songwriting offers a clever and comical view of contemporary life and culture.
