If you listen to the songs sung by Steve Hanft on the album he made with the lovely April March, you almost immediatly think of Beck. No wonder, Hanft used to be in a band with Mr Hansen, plus Steve made a bunch of videos for the eclectic wonder. His team up with April isn't that odd either - Hanft shot the video for her Caribou (click), and together they made a funny vid for Attention Cherie (clique). Both were student at Cal Arts too. I like the songs by April best (no surprise there, I guess), she sings in both French and English. Best song is the sunny Attention Cherie - which might be the California influence of Hanft.
