Dent May (who, until recently, attached And His Magnificent Ukulele to his name) brings to mind a boozy, drugged out time spent in some rural, forgotten southern town. The careless meandering music that Dent May is responsible for probably has something to do with the fact that he, well, lives in Jackson, Mississippi and probably drinks a lot of booze and maybe dabbles in the occasional psychedelic journey. His subject matter borders on the practical ("College Town Boy," which addresses post-graduation indolence), the boyishly fantastical ("Meet Me in the Garden" has the protagonist waiting for a beautiful blonde, down by the pond) and the truthful (where in "I'm an Alcoholic," Mr. May is over being sober), and his song structure never ventures much past the occasional percussive element and the strumming of one magnificent ukulele. His debut The Good Feeling Music of Dent May and His Magnificent Ukulele it out now via the Animal Collective-founded Paw Tracks. Check out his video for "Meet Me in the Garden" below:
