Jacco Gardner er en hollandsk multi-instumenatlist og producer på blot 24 år. I februar udgav han sit debutalbum 'Cabinet of Curiosities' og på dette kan man høre ham spille alle instrumenterne (dog på nær trommer). Stilen i hans musik lægger sig op ad både Zombies, Nirvana og Billy Nicholls. Debutalbummet byder blandt andet på drømmende popsange, magelig plekterbas og delikate orgelvignetter. Musisk balancerer han mellem glædesrus og melankoli og Gardner formår at skabe sig egen, unikke lyd i det han blander cembalo, strygere, fløjte og andre klassiske instrumenter med rå, psykedeliske effekter.

Halasan Bazar is an experimental psych-pop band based in Copenhagen, Denmark, though their roster and sound sample from more cosmopolitan realms; band members hail from across northern Europe and even Australia, the group brought together in a collective invocation of rock and psychedelia. Led by songwriter Fredrik Eckhoff, the band finds strong points of affinity with the historic outpourings of New York’s Greenwich Village and San Francisco’s evolving character as a nexus for similar sounds, excelling most when lines of influence blur under the guidance of Eckhoff energetic vocals and whimsical lyricism. A dedicated crooner, the spontaneity of his vocal contribution is often what makes a song gel on Space Junk.
Halasan Bazar move beyond mere homage territory by vividly evoking the fuzzed-out bliss of a hallucinogenic-induced stupor, rather than dwelling on a chord-for-chord imitation of their influences. - Pitchfork
