A.V. Club: Best of the Decade

Artist John Vanderslice

  • John Vanderslice Peter Ellenby
  • John Vanderslice

San Francisco-based John Vanderslice is a producer, recording-studio owner, and master craftsman of intricate, nuanced pop. A mass of critical adulation coalesced around his adventurous, personal, and political 2005 record Pixel Revolt and its follow-up, Emerald City. His usual meticulous care and inventiveness returns on the new Romanian Names: Lyrically, he’s much more allusive and poetically indirect, but the beautifully sad melodies are back and as lovely as ever.
