Venice - Spin Art - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Venice - Born & Raised [COMPACT DISCS] date 02/11/1997

2023 . Hailed as Incha gifted storytellerInch (NPR Music) for 2016's The Party and 2020's The Neon Skyline, Andy Shauf writes albums that unfold like short fiction, full of colorful characters, fine details and a rich emotional depth. With Norm, however, Shauf has slyly deconstructed and reshaped the style for which he's been celebrated, elevating his songwriting with intricate layers and perspectives, challenging himself to find a new direction. Under the guise of an intoxicating collection of jazz-inflected romantic ballads, his storytelling has become decidedly more oblique, hinting at ominous situations and dark motivations.

2024 album by Venice, a famous California band, formed in the late 1970s by California's conscience, Pat, Michael, Kip, and Mark Lennon, brothers and cousins! The acoustic West Coast sound and the gentle melodies are the best of both worlds... Their heartwarming sound deserves to be heard now more than ever! Supervision and commentary by Hisakazu Kanazawa
