Hartley Goldstein

A native of New York, NY, Hartley Goldstein is unabashedly a New York Jew. He's also a former staff writer for Pitchfork and a sometimes-scribe for Popmatters. Primarily, though, he is the songsmith responsible for the overtly literal power pop found on his 2005 release Songs in the Key of Zoloft, a piano-driven EP which meditates on the cultural significance of, among other things, Brad Wood, Annie Hall and George Harrison's beard.
