Jacco Gardner - "Clear the Air"

This song and video came out about a year ago, but 24-year old Jacco Gardner just released his debut album Cabinet of Curiosities this month. The young Dutch musician plays every instrument on the album (except for the drums) and produced it himself. The album is filled with sunny psychedelic pop inspired by the likes of The Left Banke & The Zombies but also a darker side that's reminiscent of Syd Barrett. Some might criticize his overtly retro sound, but considering how well crafted and arranged his work is, you really can't blame the kid for being born 40 years too late.
