Superfan's Kali Flanagan was 18 when Julian Casablancas pulled him from an open mic to support the Strokes in Colorado, solo. Now 21, he's made My Piledriver Heart, a set of miniature coming-of-age stories built on drop-tuned acoustic guitars he calls "acousticellos" and cello work from Omeed Almassi.
