Dawn Patrol feat. Martin & Garp "Bring on the Good Times" CD
★Supervision and commentary: Kanazawa Toshikazu (Light Mellow)
★1 bonus track included
"120% likeability! The debut album of Dawn Patrol, a five-piece band that started as an evolution of the Dutch AOR unit Martin & Garp. While showing respect for Steely Dan, the sound is awesome, with the thoughtfulness of a European group and the mood of the yacht rock generation." -- Kanazawa Toshikazu
The Dutch AOR unit Martin & Garp, whose debut album "Sentimental Fools" released in October 2020 was so highly praised that even here in Japan, some people said, "Is this better than Young Gun Silver Fox?!", has formed a new band. They have completed an album filled with well-made songs that are just as good as the solo works of Martin & Garp and Garp = Lo van Garp. From sophisticated AOR in the direct line of Steely Dan to funky blue-eyed soul and refreshing West Coast pop, this is a masterpiece that will hit the spot for AOR fans! The songs and performances are of incredibly high quality!
