Overflowing with captivating collaborations, this album showcases a side of The Dandy Warhols that’s both familiar and refreshingly new. Guitar fans will love the many complex riffs that bring back the raw feel of the band’s early music.

With the likes of Slash, Debbie Harry, and Frank Black lending their signature styles to select tracks, The Dandy Warhols have truly elevated their sound to new heights. Rockmaker sets the tone with its guitar-driven intensity, striking a chord with die-hard rock enthusiasts.

Tracks like “I’d Like To Help You With Your Problem” and “The Cross” push the boundaries of sonic experimentation, showcasing the band’s relentless commitment to pushing the envelope. Yet, amidst the diversity of sounds and influences, each song retains that unmistakable Dandy Warhols’ charm, ensuring a cohesive listening experience from start to finish.

With its captivating soundscapes, star-studded collaborations, and undeniable talent, this album is destined to become a staple in the collections of fans worldwide, promising countless hours of exhilarating listening pleasure for years to come.
