Wishing Song (feat. Emily Kokal of Warpaint) by 𝕻𝕬𝖀𝕷 𝕭𝕰𝕽𝕲𝕸𝕬𝕹𝕹

Abiding by Bob Dylan’s folk philosophy of placing the integrity of the song before all else, Bergmann has been spending more time on the writing process than ever before. In his current creative efforts, he’ll tell you that he strives for honesty but not overexposure, vulnerability but not weakness, straightforwardness but not simplicity. He takes inspiration from the natural side of Los Angeles: the beach, the woods, and the outdoors - as well as a near constant stream of Neil Young’s On the Beach.

Fittingly, his last 7” (“Old Dream” b/w “Summer’s End”) was recorded in Fairfax Recordings’ “Studio A,” - the very same room where Neil Young himself tracked After the Gold Rush when the studio was known as Sound City. Produced by Kevin Augunas and Nick Waterhouse and featuring the legendary Jimmie Haskell on strings, the tracks were released on May 2, 2015, and he is now set to release a new EP – Romantic Thoughts – on October 2. Featuring Nick Waterhouse’s co-production with Kevin Augunas on the lead single, “You May Never Know”, and a duet with Warpaint’s Emily Kokal on “Wishing Song”, the new 5-song EP is a dynamic body of sound in which each song showcases different sides of Bergmann’s personas.
