"Imaginary War" is a solo effort in just about every sense of the word – Nashville-based artist,Dex Green wrote every song, plays every instrument, and sings lead – but it’s about as far from a “singer-songwriter” album as it gets. During this time, he was heavily influenced by visual storytelling and cinema; Alain Resnais' '60s French New Wave film Last Year at Marienbad was on a constant loop during the recording process. Sonically, the album draws from his affinity for synth-driven psychedelic pop, jazz, ‘70s rhythm and blues and more, woven together with his inviting atmospheric production. Many of the songs came together as instrumental tracks first, piecing the puzzle together layer by layer, often getting as far as choosing a song title before ultimately penning lyrics and a melody that fit the soundscape he’d created.
