If you thought you were supposed to meet Dent May in the lounge or tiki bar instead, that's understandable. The ukulele-wielding Mississippian croons like the pop kids from BOAT or Tullycraft channeling Morrissey, over bossa nova-tinged strums and exotica sound effects, on "Meet Me in the Garden", a fun song from May's new The Good Feeling Music of Dent May & His Magnificent Ukulele. As you can probably tell by now, it's a bit different from what you'd usually expect on the Animal Collective-founded Paw Tracks label. The Jon Leone-directed video is, too, with clever use of lighting and some goofy shots of May performing, sipping champagne, and lounging in a bubble bath. "I only hurt you 'cause I love you," he sings. Come to think of it, I can totally see why this makes sense for Paw Tracks.
