Under his new-found alias, Brooklynite, Janssen has released his debut albu, Summer Bodies just in time to secure a place in our seasonal soundtracks. “Call To Be” is the LP’s shimmering single of frenzied keyboard and pulsating synths floating in the backdrop.
Naturally, its percussive qualities, Buoy’s strong suit drive the dance-worthy anatomy of this stand out track–including tribal hand drums, claps, and tambourines. Caribbean pop at its core, Dana’s newest venture is a nice break from Akron/Family’s homely heroics of dense lyrics and musicianship. Analog vibes and synthesizers can more fun sometimes, and that’s just what this track succeeds at being.

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?
Taking a break from his 9 to 5 gig as the percussionist for Akron/Family, Dana Buoy (aka Dana Janssen) is making time for affected vocals and electronic sound scapes.

beautiful work! posters for posterity!2
I like it. And it grabbed your attention esp. if you posted a comment below. whether you love it or hate I don't see anything where it promotes violence or degrading women.. what i see is government taking away the rights of a citizen n the rights away from people. Failure to follow instructions will land us in prison like the model. Now if steven photographed the same concept with average shmucks would we pay much attention to it? i dont think so. it'd be just another political journalistic photograph.3
