Tom Gallo is the host of Look At My Records! on Radio Free Brooklyn.
Bushwick-based musician and producer Johnny Dynamite is releasing his debut solo record, Heartbroken, this Friday, January 31st. He’s made the rounds in his fair share of projects over the last few years, most notably as the drummer of goth-punk band Whiner and post-punk quartet Ashjesus. Now, he’s stepping out from behind the drum kit for his first-ever solo effort.
Heartbroken will have a total of nine songs, including the previously released singles, “Walking Poetry” and “Hey Join Me (You’re Not Alone).” It’ll clock in at just under 30 minutes, which Dynamite describes as the perfect length for your commute. The songs on the record are driven by infectious drum machine beats, dark synths, and lyrics that at times explore the surreal.
