Friends of Dean Martinez is an instrumental rock band featuring members of Giant Sand, Calexico, and Naked Prey. Beautiful ambient rock reminiscent of Unwed Sailor. In a nutshell, FoDM is a combination of bits of electronic static intertwined with surf guitar inspired leads, all droning to the beat of Nick Mason-esque drums, stretched over 30 minute intervals.
