Young American

San Serac is one man, former punk rocker Nat Rabb of Candy Machine and Ink. I wasn't sure what his name meant, but after theorizing that he has no cares I subsequently came across a claim/rumour that it's actually derived from a misheard David Bowie lyric. I'm not sure if this is true or just a byproduct of the vast amount of Bowie comparisons he's accumulated. His suave 1980s electropop owes something to Bryan Ferry as well. His new album Professional was recently released on Nik and Jason of Shout Out Out Out Out's Normals Welcome label, which is one of the reasons he was on the road with them.

Drum pad action!
