It’s hard to hear Jacco Gardner and not think of the crossroads of rock and psychedelia, when the Beatles got a little more trippy, Syd was still with Pink Floyd, and pop nuggets were still the focus, not the 7-20+ minute epics that would proliferate as the decade wore on. His newest effort Hypnophobia returns to those early explorations, dropping expansive and far-out pop gems that innocently and fondly recall, but do not ape, those days when reverb didn’t immediately remind you of Coldplay and U2. The track “Find Yourself” is a stellar example. and makes its debut here for the first time. Stream it below and look for the Hypnophobia LP on May 5 via Full Time Hobby. Order yours.

Catch Gardner at Loppen in Copenhagen in May.
