Hypnophobia is the brand new album from the baroque pop prince and Dutch producer/multi-instrumentalist, Jacco Gardner. He’s all set to cast a majestic and vibrant psychedelic spell that will hypnotize listeners at the point dreams and reality meet. Since unveiling his Cabinet of Curiosities in 2013, tastemakers and fans alike have been drawn deeper into Jacco Gardner’s fantastical fairytale kingdom. Hypnophobia captures a true sense of exploration, combining Gardner’s newfound love of travel with his continued passion for collecting and playing vintage instruments. The album features a Wurlitzer electric piano, waltzing alongside mellotrons, harpsichords, an Optigan, and an antique Steinway upright piano. It’s a stunning exhibit of lush instrumental tracks as well as songs that boast lyrics worthy of any great pop number. For most traditional enthusiasts, it’d be all too easy to rehash the past. But that’s where Jacco Gardner’s differences lie. Playing all instruments except for drums, Hypnophobia brilliantly captures a unique artist and future-vintage aficionado operating at a far higher state of consciousness.

See Jacco Gardner play The Sunset this Wednesday, June, 24th!

The latest example came this week in Mississippi, where Democratic Senate candidate Scott Colom released a video with a snippet of Republican […]

New York to ban Central Park’s horse-drawn carriages after teen’s death

NEW YORK (AP) — New York City lawmakers plan to ban horse-drawn carriages from Central Park, ending their more than 150-year run as an iconic, old-timey tourist attraction, following decades of opposition from animal welfare activists and the death of a teenage tourist last spring. The City Council is expected to approve a bill next […]
