and_you_will_know_me_by_the_tale_of_fred I'm new to them rather embarrassingly. I bought the vinyl last night after Stewart Lee name-dropped them in an interview. I've chatted with him about music, we like similar stuff. I've listened to it 3 times in less than 12 hours. Every track is exceptional. Favorite track: Where I'll Stand.

davidwh Only 38 years since I bought my last Dream Syndicate music, the classic, Medicine Show. The great lyrics are still there but a much wider instrumental palette. Highly recommended. Favorite track: Lesson Number One.

about

*PRE-ORDER* Album ships June 10th 2022

The brand-new album from The Dream Syndicate blends vintage Krautrock, Eno-like ambience, Neu-inspired rhythmic groove and a Californian sun baked sheen into their classic psychedelic, melodic, hue.

The Dream Syndicate have moved well past their early Velvet Underground influences and taken on British glam, German prog, and more. “Clever, ambitious, and blessedly noisy.” AllMusic

Featuring singer/songwriter/guitarist Steve Wynn, drummer Dennis Duck, bassist Mark Walton, lead guitarist Jason Victor plus their newest member Chris Cacavas on keyboards, plus guest appearances from Stephen McCarthy (of The Long Ryders) and Marcus Tenney's expressive sax and trumpet work.

“Atmospheric rock music veering between noise and subtlety— compelling.” Pitchfork

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über. https://tortue.substack.com/i/140348114/slowdive-everything-is-alive-dead-oceans Daniel Welsch
