Waylon S. Thornton is a prolific artist based in Gainesville, Florida who publishes fun songs as well as cool artworks. He recently picked up an old banjo from his father, and that led to this new music: “It’s all about how much I hate the government and academia, and how much I love pussy.” On his latest EP Double Bubble, USA you’ll discover five short songs (between 00:51 and 01:53) that are as zestful as they are snappy – Buy It Now! in particular is an earworm that any advertising creative can envy, and not just because of its title. Ramshackle garage rock with a punk attitude, witty lyrics, a lo-fi sound and elevating melodies, what’s not to like?
Double Bubble, USA is out now digitally (self-released). Add to wantlist: Bandcamp
