Day & Dream Share Spooky 2
Wanted to ease you into your Tuesday morning with something that feels like waking up out of a deep slumber, which is where we find Day & Dream on their latest single. The ambient wash blankets the tune with the disorienting textures of dream pop, but its the movement beneath in the mix that really has me enjoying myself. Subtle drum rolls fill in the empty space as ethereal vocals spread out across the song’s vast landscape they’ve created. And, if you let the song drift with you, there’s this bombastic exit as the song draws near, allowing the band to illustrate their musicianship as they top of the tune with a little punch.

I loved listening to last year’s Thieves LP from Austin’s
We covered tons of territory last week, particularly as we ran tons of little interviews in our Meet the SXSW Band features; it’s also the Spring season, so that means there are tons of announcements about new records and such. I was stoked to hear new stuff from Constant Follower and Mary Onettes, plus we premiered new tune from The National Honor Society and Hot Coppers. And, seeing as its SXSW, we got interviews back from Daiistar, Taleen Kali, Hamish Hawk and a ton more, all with little introductions plus their music. Or, you can listen to the jams below and see if they’re playing near you, wherever you find yourself!
Looks like the madness is already underway, so we wanted to be sure those in town this week got a nice peep at what’s in store for
Our good friends Soliti Music over in Finland have just signed up to work with
