Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. Releases New Track, Preps Remix EP
Performs with Yo Gabba Gabba, CMJ Shows Announced
“an inspired mix of hip-hop and folk”- NPR’s All Songs Considered
“disarmingly beautiful mix of ’60s psych-pop” – Under The Radar “Pleased To Meet You” Artist
“…a love for electronic pop and folk, with some breezy island sounds.” – Stereogum [40 Best New Bands of 2010]
“Drawing comparisons to of Montreal and Local Natives, the peculiar pair blends intentionally odd basement production, folk pop and programmed loops that borrow from the soul and hip-hop worlds.” – USA Today
“Whether Dale himself would approve of his imaginary progeny is hard to predict, but there’s little doubt [Daniel] Zott and [Joshua] Epstein will come through as winners when critics compile their best-of lists of 2010.” – KEXP Live Session (Watch here!)
