New York City-based singer-songwriter Brian Dunne recently shared his fourth solo album, Clams Casino, via Missing Piece Records. Balancing ascendant aspirations with crushing reality, the new single “Rockland County" follows a character confidently (and hilariously) leaving the big city to move back to their hometown.
As Dunne says about the song: "Everybody has ambitions and goals and dreams of moving to the big city, but I wrote 'Rockland County' as an exuberant song of somebody being fucking relieved of putting it down. I found it so entertaining to write; I just fell in love with the character railing against the city where they’ve been living and how full of shit it felt to them. Somebody can catch you in a moment of weakness and sell back to you the very thing you were running from. 'Oh my god, free parking!’"
