Description:<\/p>\n
Texas and Japan team up for a trans-Pacific, 2 man summertime pop explosion!<\/em><\/p>\n Lost Balloons are Jeff Burke (Radioactivity, Marked Men, etc etc) and Yusuke Okada (of Japan\u2019s incredible Suspicious Beasts).<\/em><\/p>\n Hey Summer is their 2nd<\/sup> album, following 2015\u2019s self-titled debut on German\u2019s Alien Snatch Records. (one of the few Marked Men-related records of recent years that Dirtnap DIDN\u2019T put out!) The 2 play all the instruments (although there is a live lineup as well) and split singing\/songwriting duties. Hey Summer works fantastically well as an ALBUM, meant to be listened to from start-to-finish.<\/em><\/p>\n Wistful, sunshiney 60\u2019s-inspired pop with a bit of 80\u2019s college rock jangle and even a little modern garage\/Americana twang, Hey Summer represents a pretty big departure from a normal Jeff Burke project. (and although it\u2019s sonically a LITTLE closer to Okada\u2019s Suspicious Beasts, it veers farther afield of his normal songwriting comfort zone as well) Jeff says that this album is probably the least \u201cpunk\u201d record he\u2019s ever done. We would agree, but don\u2019t think that that is a bad thing. Rather it confirms what we\u2019ve long suspected: That these two can master any genre that they tackle, and make it fully their own.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hey folks – Lost Balloons “Hey Summer” is officially out, just in time for (you guessed it!) summer!
