Title: Any Version of Me - baroque/psych pop with some tasty Brian Wilson influence...
Post by: Empire Of Love on October 04, 2010, 11:39:36 AM
I realize that when I post it is often regarding a Brian Wilson sounding artist, and hopefully that is not too terribly annoying for those of you reading my posts.  Here is a great artist who is equal parts Brian and The Beatles - sometimes in the same song.  The music has a real classic sound, I am really getting into.  So far I recommend tracks 4-6:

Oh wow, track 11, Love, is also really good.

Let me know what you think.

Hey, this is really cool. Thanks for the heads-up.

Personally, I can't get enough BB soundalikes so I welcome all recommendations.

Reminds me a little of Syd too.

A better description might have been baroque pop or psych pop, but I took the lazy way out and compared his music to The Beatles and The Beach Boys.  Regardless of the label, this is really good stuff.

Edit: In fact I've just changed the subject of the thread to reflect this more accurate description.

First thing it reminded me of was 'Lady Madonna'.
