His voice is the guiding light on this song, bursting with the innocent excitement of being in a new place. Vocals never tire here, from the lead to the harmonising additions of countless others. Indeed a wall of sound has been achieved here, as found in the music of Phil Spector and The Beach Boys, major influences on Hoepfner. These tunes have a vagabond quality, with jingly percussion, bells, and clops, which are key to the appeal of Creaky Boards and their brand of fun. Heartfelt, without being a cry for attention, this song encapsulates the sense of listlessness and fear that a lot of youth are steeped in.
Reminiscent of a soundtrack to a retro school dance, this slow number effortlessly pokes at the tender areas of the heart while not being overly sentimental. The sax solo and castanets are extra precautions against that.

Give a listen below - but know that it only gives you a hint of what is going on here on "Brooklyn Is Love". This track is unique, as most of the album follows a melodic "Pet Sounds" template. What makes this better than your average Brian Wilson clone, is that Hoepfner includes other dynamic elements, much like Zumpano or Olivia Tremor Control. And the songs are all original, and catchy as hell. This album is never boring or feels derivative and is worth many repeat listens.
Enjoy it. The band makes use of diverse instruments throughout the album, incorporating bells, trumpets, trombones and more into songs such as "Brooklyn". Daily Campus. Tags folk Brussels.
