Biography
Ambient post-rockers The Dandelion War are from Oakland, California: the name was taken from the title of a book by World War II veteran and Oxford graduate Richard Rosenthal.The band are Larry Fernandez (vocals), Mikey Fuson (guitar), Jeff Kay (guitar, keyboards), Julius Masibay (drums) and Chris Strebel (bass).
"The Dandelion War successfully does the airy, Radiohead meets Sigur Ros thing, though not as long-winded. Like other bands in the genre, dynamics shift between multi-instruments, and strong beats provide a solid backdrop for the melodies. The vocals sometimes give way to the playing, which will keep the band from leaning into Coldplay territory. It sounds like they think that's a good thing."
