The Dream Machine return with a focused version of their kaleidoscopic, \’60s organ-infused aural ecstasy. Produced by The Coral‘s James Skelly, the album’s heightened musicianship and tighter track lengths are matched by Zak McDonnell‘s matured lyricism, spanning adolescent life in modern Britain, unrequited love, and escaping small-town ennui.
Bold, inventive psychedelic indie that clearly draws influence from the North West’s rich musical heritage, and displays that influence without ever sounding like a pastiche. Crisp, full of warmly familiar melodies and brilliantly conceived harmonies.
