The twenty-four-year-old Dutchman Jacco Gardner has acquainted himself with the sophistications of psychedelic sixties pop sounds, recording an album that unabashedly joins the ranks of his inspirations. He signs, produces and plays all the instruments himself, like an out-of-time child prodigy whose mysterious and carefree songs could easily have featured on the Beatles’ “Revolver” or the Beach Boys’ “Pet Sounds”. On stage, Gardner acts the charming musical director, his baroque pop rendered true to style by a fabulous band with vintage instruments against a backdrop of mind-expanding projections.
