Eccentric as their name, Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr formed in Detroit in

2009 when Josh Epstein and Daniel Zott started sharing different tastes but a similar attitude to creativity and invention. The result is MGMT that meets Animal Collective in Abbey Road.

An impressive outlook and attention to details makes Nothing But Our Love a jewel of song-writing and sonic craft.

Vocal Chords starts sounding like Housemartins’ Caravan Of Love, then percussions and guitar give it that irresistible Peter Gabriel via Vampire Weekend touch of freshness and intensity.

The slow-paced Nothing But Our Love mixes the chillwave innovations of Neon Indian and Washed Out with the warmth of Passion Pit.

Already signed by Warner Bros, Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr will release first album It’s A Corporate World in spring 2012. If you can’t wait, the album is already out in the US.
