He describes the song "Max's Kansas City" as "stream-of-consciousness lyrical madness about all the things that drive me nuts”...“I truly wrote it for myself. I was completely alone on a hellish tour of Europe, and it rained like 17 days I was there. I was like, 'What does it all mean?!' I wrote this song to be like, 'It means nothing.' Loosen up! Have a beer. Talk to some strangers. So your fate has been predetermined, and you aren’t the bourgeoisie? That’s alright."
Order here: Brian Dunne - Clams Casino
Over the summer, John Mayer drew attention to Dunne by playing the album's title track on his SiriusXM show.
Clams Casino, the album, was self-produced at Dunne's home in Red Hook, Brooklyn. His fourth solo album follows his 2023 release Loser on the Ropes and two releases from Fantastic Cat. Accompanying himself on nearly all instruments, Dunne sought inspiration from an era of classic rock that tentatively embraced the new wave sound of the late-’70s, incorporating keyboards and synths without delving fully into the digital gloss of the CD era.
Brian Dunne has shared bills with Cat Power to Caroline Rose, performed on songs with Lizzie No ("Lagunita") and Caitlin Rose ("The Kids Are All Grown"), and in 2021 landed an unexpected hit in the Netherlands with his standalone single “New Tattoo,” which led to him performing to an audience of 17,000 at Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome.
