Biography

linktr.ee/thesoundofmonday A longtime member of NYC's indie-pop underground, Dave Jay Gerstein (aka Dave Jay) working under the moniker The Sound of Monday, builds a bridge between past and present, pulling from the classic sounds of his heroes — from The Beatles and The Beach Boys to XTC and Aimee Mann. The result is an outside-the-box approach to forward-thinking indie pop, with songs that find room for more than just the classic sounds of electric guitars and harmony vocals. Touches of horns, woodwinds and strings create the chamber pop sounds reminiscent of many of his past and present influences, and add a new dimension to his longtime blend of hooks, humor, and adventurous arrangements. The Sound Of Monday began the late 1990s in New York City whose music was championed by the likes of Danny Weinkauf (They Might Giants), Brandon Wild and Len Monachello (This Way), and Mother West producer Charles Newman (The Magnetic Fields). More than two decades later, the Weinkauf-produced Quick Ear Warmer is due out this summer, with the Newman-produced “Linguistic Missdemeanor” in the fall on Newman’s own Mother West label. For Dave Jay, these releases mark a continuation of a career rooted in the musical ingredients that never grow old: ageless melodies, constant innovation, and an indie sensibility. Dave Jay began writing songs at age 9, aspiring to be the 5th Monkee, eventually creating his own personal category, summed up onomona-poetically as, J’Blammo Pop Music!
