BORNS is Garrett Borns an indie musician from Grand Haven, Michigan who fights out of Los Angeles. His debut album Dopamine (Oct’15) holds three big hits 10 000 Emerald Pools, Electric Love and American Money that are responsible for what Sputnik Music called “a meteoric ascension.”  American Money (2015) got the least press or listens out of all three songs. American Money is the best BORNS song, a song Indie Sound said, “has a repetive chorus anyone can sing that goes great next to a tantalizing beat.”
