The music of Van Dyke Parks has always taken you on a journey, replete with exquisite sounds and thoughtful concepts. 

His most recent collaboration is no different- he never met Veronica Valerio, but the resulting album is no less compelling. We talked with Van Dyke about the new album, finger foods in Berlin, the Twentieth Century Fox theme music and the various books of the bible in this wide-ranging conversation. "Only In America," Van Dyke Parks orchestrates Veronica Valerio is available everywhere on June 11th.

We're giving away a copy of the EP... Listen to the very end of the show to learn how to enter!
