Justin Roeland “Desolation” – Listen

August 30, 2019 Jonathan Aird 0
On ‘Desolation‘, taken from his most recent album ‘Doomed to bloom‘, Justin Roeland mixes Byrdsian jangle-rock with a fuzzed and phased up dream-like sensibility.   The song is imbued with the inevitability of change and development – […]
