Our Take

LARS FINBERG's latest album, "Moonlight Over Bakersfield," is a captivating journey through the twisted streets and neon-lit dive bars of Bakersfield, California. The former member of Thee Oh Sees and A Frames brings his trademark off-kilter humour and infectious energy to this solo effort, delivering a collection of songs that feel simultaneously classic and utterly unique.

From the opening track, "Bakersfield," Finberg's gravelly vocals draw you in, whispering secrets of lost love and late-night escapades. The lo-fi production adds a raw, gritty feel to the music, as if you're sitting in the back of a smoky bar, watching Finberg pour his heart out on stage.

Tracks like "Stars Crossed Lovers" and "Moments in Time" showcase Finberg's songwriting prowess, blending catchy hooks with introspective lyrics that cut straight to the soul. The album's title track, "Moonlight Over Bakersfield," is a haunting ballad that lingers long after the music has stopped, leaving you craving more.

Overall, "Moonlight Over Bakersfield" is a triumph for Lars Finberg, showcasing his talent as a songwriter and musician in his own right. Whether you're a fan of garage rock, indie pop, or just good old-fashioned storytelling, this album is sure to delight and surprise. So grab a glass of whiskey, turn up the volume, and let Finberg take you on a wild ride through the streets of Bakersfield.

About the artist

Lars Finberg

With a mischievous twinkle in his eye and a guitar at the ready, Lars Finberg is a true enigma in the world of indie rock. Hailing from Los Angeles, this multi-talented musician has been making waves in the underground scene for over two decades. Formerly the frontman of the seminal punk band The Intelligence, Finberg has earned a reputation for his witty lyrics, quirky melodies, and infectious stage presence. His solo work, which blends elements of garage rock, post-punk, and lo-fi pop, showcases his eclectic taste and irreverent attitude towards the music industry. Finberg's latest album, "Moonlight Over Bakersfield," is a sonic journey through the outskirts of California, filled with twangy guitars, pulsating synths, and cryptic lyrics that leave you scratching your head in the best possible way. From the infectious groove of "Ambiverts" to the haunting beauty of "Fatal Flounce," Finberg proves once again that he is a master of his craft. But don't let his laid-back attitude fool you - Finberg is a true perfectionist when it comes to his music. Whether he's meticulously crafting a new hook in the studio or tearing up the stage with his high-energy live performances, you can always count on Finberg to deliver the goods with style and flair. So, if you're in the mood for some off-kilter indie rock that's equal parts charming and baffling, look no further than Lars Finberg. With his cheeky grin and his penchant for pushing musical boundaries, he's a true original in a sea of imitators.
