Patent Leather Car - Frank Joshua (Dream Pop) Wistful is probably the best word we can choose to describe Frank Joshua’s “Patent Leather Car.” The instrumentation on this reminiscing number is striking, with a tribal element to the percussion that when married with a swirling combination of synths and paired with the soft and bittersweet baritone lead vocal, come together to give some serious 80s vibes. It’s a smooth record for sure, a mid tempo with an ethereal quality creating an easy listening vibe. Within this somewhat mystical production are also a few surprising chord progressions that really catch the ear and make for a very engaging listen. This record is surely one to mellow out to.

Best Lyric: “The worst things that you said are now bouncing in my head.”
