I recently reviewed SPC ECO’s exquisite new single, “Delusional Waste,” and found my head filled with questions while writing it. (“Delusional Waste” review: https://loveispop.com/reviews/single-spotlight-spc-eco-delusional-waste/) After all, SPC ECO’s producer/programmer/musician extraordinaire is none other than Dean Garcia, who was one half of the indie electro-pop/rock duo Curve, one of the ’90’s very best and...
