Elastic Wasteland

SJD is the nom-de-disque of Sean James Donnelly. Since his first self-released album 3 he has unleashed a series of five stunning albums for the Round Trip Mars label.

Amongst those, ‘Lost Soul Music’ introduced a wider audience to Sean’s unique vision with songs like ‘Tree People and A Boy’, while ‘Southern Lights’ picked up two Tuis in the 2005 NZ Music Awards and included ‘Superman, You’re Crying’ and the much licensed, ‘The Clean’ sampling ‘From A To B Or Not To Be’.

Subsequent album ‘Songs From A Dictaphone’ and ‘Dayglo Spectres’ further solidified Sean’s impeccable rep with stone cold classics like ‘Beautiful Haze’, ‘I Wrote This Song For You’ and ‘No Telling Where’.

Following a stint as co-producer and keyboard player in Neil Finn’s Pajama Club, and marshaling an all-star cast for the Breast Cancer Foundation release of Chris Knox’s Not Given Lightly Sean has returned to his solo synthesized roots with a stunning set of new songs on the 2012 release Elastic Wasteland.
