Album Notes

Iowa singer/songwriter Brian Joens has transformed himself with his fourth and latest Spinout Records release. The merging of Joens' small town main street melancholy has been shaded with languid grooves and moody, textured arrangements. Produced by Bernie Larsen (David Lindley, Melissa Etheridge and currently on tour with Lucinda Williams), HOLLYWOODLAND features multi-instrumentalist Larsen on guitar, bass, keys and programming, along with the melodically twisted guitar of Peter Atanasoff (Tito & Tarantula), and the earthy harmony of Carla Olsen (Textones, Mick Taylor, Gene Clark).

HOLLYWOODLAND is a fresh, eclectic mix of ambient folk.
