It’s Psychedelic Baby Interviews Dan West About His “Bold” and “Visceral” New Album

It’s Psychedelic Baby is effusive about Dan West’s new LP, writing that Hedonistic Pillow “envelops you in a whirlwind of indulgence, wielding both subtlety and force like a velvet-clad hammer. This sonic adventure glows with neon hues and explores the shadowy corners of life’s untamed pleasures, exposing both grit and glamour in equal measure. West’s voice glides over sinuous guitar riffs and throbbing bass lines with natural confidence, invoking the spirit of rock’s heyday while remaining undeniably modern. Every song on this album is a visceral journey, drenched in raw emotion and charged with a tantalizing sense of danger. Hedonistic Pillow transcends mere music; it’s an all-out sensory onslaught, defying the polished façade of today’s mainstream sounds. In an era where safety often reigns supreme, Dan West’s latest offering is a bold challenge, an invitation, and a revelation.”
