"Wide Awake Dreaming"
She currently calls Brooklyn home, but Janet LaBelle is a product of the New Jersey pop punk scene. As a solo artist she's so far specialized in retro, surf, or girl group-inspired pop. On "Wide Awake Dreaming," LaBelle goes for a slightly different sound from the same era.
Piano and strings give the song a kind of early 1960's ballad feel, and had me thinking of a (much) more stripped down version of something like Wilco's "Reservations" from Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.
LaBelle and many, many others from the Tiny Giant Artists Collective will be appearing at Asbury Lanes on June 22nd for the Summer Bummer, which is the rescheduled version of the canceled-by-Nemo Winter Beach Ball.
