Giallo by TS Hartley TS Hartley : Giallo.
 High energy sunshine pop.

Giallo reflects influences of all of my favorite music, filtered through my own unique world view and style. With influences ranging from Tom Waits to Gwen Stefani, the Beatles to Busta Rhymes, Led Zeppelin to Bjork, my music manages to hint at all of my favorite styles while still sounding completely new and original.

While my earlier music was primarily about experimentation and finding strange and unique sounds with a number of instruments, this new album reflects a more focused vision. The "anything goes" nature of the music is intact while still appealing to the straightforward bubblegum pop lover in us all.

These songs are like time travelers, picking up the best bits of pop from each decade and maybe even a little bit of the future. With the help of producer Giles Reaves, I have put together an album of songs that will take you on a crazy musical carnival ride. With sunshine guitars, sing-along lyrics, hypnotic electronics and dance floor beats, this album is designed to make you feel like a kid going through your cool older siblings record collection for the first time.
