Our Take

The Dream Syndicate's latest offering, "These Times," is like that one friend who always shows up fashionably late to the party, but it's so worth the wait. Steve Wynn and the gang have crafted a collection of songs that effortlessly blend rock, psych, and Americana, creating a sonic tapestry that's as vibrant as a tie-dyed shirt at Woodstock.

Opening track "The Way In" sets the tone with its shimmering guitars and Wynn's signature gravelly vocals. It's the kind of song that makes you want to grab your leather jacket and hit the open road. And "Put Some Miles On" is a groovy number that wouldn't be out of place on a road trip playlist, with its driving rhythm and catchy chorus.

But it's tracks like "Black Light" and "Bullet Holes" that truly showcase the Dream Syndicate's depth and range. These songs are dark and moody, with lyrics that paint a picture of a world on the brink of collapse. It's a timely reminder that even in "These Times," there's still beauty to be found in the chaos.

Overall, "These Times" is a solid addition to the Dream Syndicate's already impressive discography. It's a testament to their ability to evolve and adapt while staying true to their roots. So grab a drink, turn up the volume, and let the Dream Syndicate take you on a journey through the highs and lows of life in the 21st century. Cheers to that, mate.

About the artist

The Dream Syndicate

Dream Syndicate, the pioneering alternative rock band hailing from Los Angeles, are not just a blast from the past, but a force to be reckoned with in the present. With their distinctive blend of jangly guitars, propulsive rhythms, and poetic lyrics, the band has been making waves in the music scene since the early 1980s. Led by frontman Steve Wynn, whose raw vocals and introspective songwriting have earned him a cult following, Dream Syndicate are known for their dynamic live performances and boundary-pushing studio albums. Their 1982 debut, "The Days of Wine and Roses," is considered a classic of the genre, capturing the band's energy and creativity at its peak. Over the years, Dream Syndicate have weathered numerous lineup changes and musical shifts, but their commitment to pushing boundaries and exploring new sonic territories remains unwavering. From psychedelic jams to introspective ballads, the band's discography is a testament to their versatility and innovation. With their latest album, "These Times," Dream Syndicate prove that they still have plenty to say and plenty of music left in them. Wynn's lyrics are as poignant as ever, tackling themes of love, loss, and the passage of time with his signature blend of wit and wisdom. In a music industry that is constantly evolving, Dream Syndicate are a beacon of authenticity and creativity. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer to their sound, one thing is for certain: Dream Syndicate are here to stay, and they're not afraid to shake things up.
