Dreams - Simple Steps EP (2010)



/Baggy, Dance rock, Alternative pop/rock, Indie dance, Alternative dance, Madchester, Indie rock/

Comment: this 4-pieced set from Portugal seems to have borrowed its roots from the scene of 90`s baggy/dance rock/madchester (reminding evidently of Primal Scream, Wordsmiths, Flowered Up, and Happy Mondays). Indeed, these roughly sounding, massively stomping beats and hispid, organically flaming vocal manners and abrasive guitar walls ring out really retrodelic whilst Dreams and those abovementioned bands used to make much more sense than nowadays peaky, way-too-much produced rave rock examples (!!!; Klaxons; Bloc Party etc). All in all, I got sentimental and excited and feel myself really fluttered. I recommend to search for old indie compilations on vinyl and listen to Clinker`s self-titled album and Abstract Green`s Romeo Echo Victor (Deluxe).
