Our Take

Ah, ALT-J. The band that sounds like a quirkier version of Radiohead if they were sipping tea and discussing Dadaism. With their latest offering, "Dream," they continue to mesmerize listeners with their unique blend of dreamy folk and glitchy electronica.

From the moment the needle drops on the milky clear vinyl, you are transported to a world where every sound feels like it's been plucked from a vivid dream. The opening track, "Daydreams," sets the tone perfectly with its ethereal vocals and pulsating beats. It's like floating on a cloud made of marshmallows while wearing neon sunglasses.

As the album progresses, ALT-J's signature sound shines through on tracks like "Moonstruck" and "Lullaby." The band's ability to seamlessly blend genres and create a sonic landscape that feels both familiar and otherworldly is truly impressive.

But perhaps the standout moment on "Dream" is the haunting track "Lucid Dreams." With its haunting melodies and existential lyrics, it's a song that will stick with you long after the final notes fade away.

In conclusion, ALT-J have once again proven why they are one of the most exciting bands in the indie music scene. "Dream" is a journey through the surreal and the sublime that is not to be missed. So grab your favourite cuppa, put on your headphones, and let ALT-J take you on a dreamy musical adventure.
