Label: Captured Tracks

1. “Daydream” – A+
2. “Desert Sand” – A+

Comments: Props to this band for they will be playing at a DIY space near you in the immediate future! For those in the Boston area, that space happens to be at The Cottage in Dorchester. Don’t ask me where it is; ask them! This is real music I tell you! “Daydream” has got an awesome surf rock hook and pretty much psychedelic Madchester era vocals. That song is prime for placement on a FIFA soundtrack since it has the “world” quality that’s oft-associated with that game. “Desert Sand” continues the vibe of awesome that “Daydream” created, this time reminding me of Peter Bjorn and John’s Writer Block material. I really want to see this band now, dammit! I mean, I could and it would be awesome since they are playing with the Beets (of No Age Wellesley show fame), but then again we’re talking Dorchester. I’ll see, but all I know is that this is going into rotation! Oh yeah and awesome album cover! I love the aura of this record so much!

Grade: A+ (97)
