don’t overthink it now, it’s just gonna exhaust me
How can Dash Hammerstein be a real name? Or better yet, since I think it is, how could he do anything but make humble retro-inspired pop songs of mooning and harmony, with a moniker like that?
Dash Hammerstein wrote to me that he is a twenty-four year old carpenter from Brooklyn, and also that “I make these little surfy country tunes whenever I get a chance.” The two technicolor tunes I heard on Bandcamp were just exactly the sort of immediately-hummable reminiscence that I needed this week – all Buddy Holly and tears on my pillow, with handclaps. I want to do a hot summer house party with this guy and You Won’t.
You and Your Boys – Dash Hammerstein
In addition to that new free EP charmer, Dash has a full free album called Bito Cabrito. So good. Come swoon with me.
Name: Heather Browne
Great Find! Although I guess HE Found YOU!
Either way, thx for the tunes…
I’m really diggin’ them.
