Dan Stuart is a songwriter, author and expat currently residing in Mexico City. He was a founding member of LA legends Green on Red (later featuring Chuck Prophet), as well as Danny & Dusty with Steve Wynn of the Dream Syndicate in the ’80s, before leaving the music business in 1995 for a decade and a half. His critically acclaimed comeback record in 2012 has the same title as his 2014 “false memoir”: The Deliverance of Marlowe Billings. His new record, Marlowe’s Revenge, recorded with Mexico City’s Twin Tones, has just come out, with a second novel to follow.
“Elena” is a marvel; Twin Tones delivers a taut, tough, minimal rock groove under Stuart’s sneering vocal, reminiscent of punk-rock poet Jim Carroll. We dig the hell out of it and we bet you will, too.
