· While Kelley Stoltz’s nigh-religious reverence for all
things Beatles, Beach Boys and Kinks has been at
the fore on recent albums ‘Below The Branches’
and ‘Circular Sounds’, his new album, ‘To
Dreamers’, blends a bit more post-punk abandon
into its layered everyman pop.
· Tasteful horn adornments blow against tom-tom
beats and 12-string guitars meet reverbed
mellotrons under Stoltz’s warm vocals.
· Kelley, now a veritable godfather to the
burgeoning San Francisco under/overground (folks
like Thee Oh Sees, Sonny & The Sunsets, The
Fresh & Onlys), has blazed a path since the late
90s as a home-recording guru and multiinstrumentalist.
· No slouch on the live front, Kelley was asked to
open The Raconteurs’ first US tour in 2006, toured
the USA and Europe with the Dirtbombs in 2008,
and, through a twist of volcano ash cloud karma,
was the support act to childhood heroes Echo And
The Bunnymen in 2010.
