Dent May

dent-may2

If Brian Wilson ever decided to go electronic he would do well to take a page out of the book of Dent May. A Mississippi native, May seamlessly blends the aesthetic of 60s & 80s pop, creating an aggressively care-free sound.

A highlight of Dent May's live set is "Eastover Wives," a song in which Dent delves into the lives of the lonely and devious young housewives from his hometown. I've always been a sucker for such lyrical specificity and Dent May's eccentric vocals make it all the sweeter, evoking the style of an old crooner. His vocal harmonies and upbeat arrangements keep you vibing to the hook.

I suggest you give Dent May a listen - his vibes are sure to ward off any polar vortex.
