One of my highlights of the year was seeing The Dream Syndicate along with Rain Parade at the Hug and Pint back in March.
A highlight of the highlights was having a brief chat with Steve Wynn and getting him to sign my copy of their latest album Ultraviolet Battle Hymns and True Confessions which I picked up on the night
The blurb on the Fire Records Bandcamp page reads 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.
Regular readers could be forgiven for thinking that I would be out of my comfort zone with that description but they would be wrong there. As Treblezine comments it skews toward the more cosmic and freewheeling psychedelic end of country-rock. And that's fine by me
"blends vintage Krautrock, Eno-like ambience, Neu-inspired rhythmic groove"
ReplyDeletesounds right up my street, so I will be playing it via bandcamp this morning
"Having a brief chat with Steve Wynn". I have no time for name droppers, as I was saying to Chris Norman from Smokie just the other day.
ReplyDeleteThe album was not right up my street. It wasn't even in next street along.
