Hey everyone, and welcome to the new video. For today's video, I am joined by a very special guest, Alex Edkins of Weird Nightmare. Weird Nightmare has just released its second album, Hoopla. From Subpop.com, "...from the psychedelic 1960s to the DIY 1990s and beyond. Hoopla, the catchy, melodic second LP from Edkins’s solo project Weird Nightmare, mixes and matches these influences in fun and exhilarating combinations, displaying his sophisticated musical mind."
Critics have made comparisons to similar psychedelic, fuzzed out, power-pop classics from Cheap Trick, The Byrds, Elvis Costello, The Kinks. The Flaming Lips, Spoon, The Replacements, and more. The album is a whirlwind of guitar pop styles and sounds. A true masterpiece.
Many of you will know Alex from his former (?) band, METZ (https://www.subpop.com/artists/metz). That band made some of the most intense, heavy, and noisy punk rock of the 2000s, and recorded five albums for Sub Pop. According to Alex, METZ are on an "indefinite hiatus."
