DENT MAY & HIS MAGNIFICENT UKULELE "The Good Feeling Music of Dent May" (Paw Tracks, 2009)
I love this dude, he is a young Elton John's caricature with Damon Albarn's voice, he twangs pop songs with his ukulele as if he's drinking pina colada on a Pacific Island; he's honest, authentic and self ironical, he has a 50's Doo-Wop appeal with a 20th century swing, he's a music genius posing like a nerd with the showman soul. Animal Collective first heard Dent May when they were recording "Merriweather Post Pavilion" in Oxford Mississippi in early 2008, and they quickly signed him to their label, Paw Tracks. "With excitement reaching a fever pitch, a new term has been coined: Dent Maynia". Catch it.
