Since Year One came out, Jacco Gardner has been busy. He has released several more singles and has a lot of YouTube videos in a somewhat different direction than his work with the Skywalkers. The online Quip magazine has this description: “His echo-washed sound recalls the psychedelic and lushly orchestral vibe of the Beatles’ Revolver or Syd Barrett era Pink Floyd, interspersed with the peppy, sardonic jabs of more modern fare like the Shins.”
