“I wanted to show everyone how exciting Oakland music is. This is a true love letter to our hometown and I could not be prouder.”
Y’all know the way to my heart. A week after Discos Resaca dropped their love letter to San Jose, now we get Dandy Boy Records writing one to Oakland. Welcome to Oakland is a 16-track compilation highlighting the amazing dream pop and indie rock blooming bright and beautiful in the East Bay, including the 1981, Blue Ocean, Sob Stories, R.E. Seraphin, Owen Adair Kelley, James Wavey, Shutups, and many more. If you still haven’t dug into the scene, this is a great place to start.
