Distortland

The Dandy Warhols

A hazy, home-recorded collection of psych-pop. Acoustic guitars and muffled beats create a cozy, slightly distorted portrait of late-career cool.

It's like the Dandys invited you over to their basement to hear some tapes they made while it was raining outside.

A relaxed, slightly fuzzy sense of urban contentment and minor-key nostalgia.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The way the acoustic strumming in 'Search Party' feels like it's happening right next to your ear.

The infectious, slightly distorted bass groove that anchors 'STYGGO' into a hypnotic loop.

The sudden, vulnerable brevity of 'The Grow Up Song' that cuts through the hazy production.
