  • jangleland single lgeDom Mariani, legendary frontman of garage rockers The Stems and power pop heroes DM3, steps away from his current blues-heavy outfit Datura4to return to his jangle pop roots with a brand-new solo single, "Jangleland."

    “Jangleland” is a breezy, country-tinged ode to the electric folk rock of the late '60s and the sun-kissed West Coast vibe of the early ‘70s.

    It was recorded in Perth, Western Australia, and features Joe Grech (Datura4) on bass, drummer Salv Di Criscito, Peter Busher (The Lone Rangers) on acoustic guitar and backing vocals, and Luke Dux (The Floors and Kill Devil Hills) on pedal steel.

    "Jangleland" is the first taste of Mariani's forthcoming self-titled solo album, showcasing the unique West Australian guitar pop flavour he helped pioneer from the late '80s onwards.

    "I'd written 'Jangleland' some time ago and kept revisiting it, playing it at the odd solo show," Mariani explains.

    "I'd accumulated enough material over the last decade that didn't fit with Datura4, and I thought it was time to put them all on one album. I've been a Byrds fan my whole life, and I'm still in awe of their sound. I was inspired to bring some of that spirit to this tune."

    Dom Mariani's new single "Jangleland" b/w "Day After Day" is out now via Alive Naturalsound Records  and can be streamed or bought as a download here.
