21-year-old Long Beach native Max Gardener releases his new album 'Children Melting Velvet' on Sadie Street Records May 24, 2019. Children Melting Velvet follows the evolution of Max from a bedroom pop songwriter on a psychedelic trip through the modern day paisley underground. Music Style: Dream Pop/Bedroom Pop (i.e., Banes World, Mac DeMarco, Beach Fossils, Tame Impala, Michael Seyer). "Psychedelically-tinged dream pop seems to be all the rage these days, and while we love the genre to death, it's almost always accompanied by an air of detachment that makes it hard to grapple with. Not so with San Francisco's Max Gardener, who has set himself apart from his contemporaries by bringing his own brand of endearing vulnerability to the style." - Thrd Coast
