If I were in a band like the Golden Gate Wingmen, playing songs from the Grateful Dead catalogue (the greatest songbook in the world) and other forever-glittering specimens of the art of song, like Dylan tunes, solo Beatles picks (Nobody Told Me, Any Road), Zevon, and Van Morrison's Beautiful Vision record, I would also stuff our setlists with songs from Visions of the Higher Dream. And I mean all of them. Not one song would pale in that company. That's how commanding and classic this album is. Grain Sparrow

The effortlessness with which Daniel Romano produces timeless melodies and sincere emotion in his music is always stunning, and is as apparent on this album as it is on countless others of his. From the opener with its marvellously harmonic chorus, to the drone-like folksy pulse of Garden of Heart, to the plaintive beauty of the album’s namesake White Flag, this release harnesses the type of variety and depth which alone belong to great albums. phil_klipper

In the half century since Wings gave us Red Rose Speedway, I don't think the world has been invited to as sumptuous a feast of melody as Daniel Romano's Dandelion. And what beautiful, tender words. "There are some folks—can you believe it?—that are acting like it doesn't matter I'm in love!" By the way, make sure you listen to this album in full. Side B gains so much by accumulation.

This experimental combo from Warsaw flits giddily from rambunctious surf music to looping guitar jazz & back again. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 29, 2021
