'Funky Nostalgia' - the story begins...

Jun Parker a neo city pop artist based in Portland in South West Victoria. Infusing elements of Japanese 70's and 80's City Pop vibe and sentimentalities, his lyrical world of love, philosophy and dreamscapes elevates the listeners to a whole new universe. That sense of 'funky nostalgia' inhabits the rhythmic core of all of us. So let's get the beat going.

Dancing in the Dark

Review by Sistra

'“Dancing In The Dark” plays with themes of philosophy and cosmology in a rhythmically irresistible fashion, for beneath the deceptively catchy beat is accompanied by a moral question in reference to Plato’s allegory of the cave.'
