Hartley Goldstein – Brad Wood

I wanna pop like it’s ‘94
I want whiny vocals, distortion and hooks galore
Hartley Goldstein was one of the very first artists I wrote about on this blog, two and a half years ago. Unfortunately, in the time since then, he seems to have put out absolutely nothing new. Which is a shame, as there are few people who can make fun, punchy and most importantly, literate pop like this. Brad Wood is a love song to the famous producer that throws in references to just about everyone he was associated with from Ben Lee to That Dog to Liz Phair. All done in a way that does sound fifteen years out of date, which is certainly no bad thing.
