Our Take

The Dream Syndicate have returned with an album that's as enigmatic as it is electrifying. "Ultraviolet Battle Hymns And True Confessions" is a rollercoaster ride of sonic landscapes and lyrical musings that will have you tapping your toe one minute and scratching your head the next.

Lead singer Steve Wynn's gravelly vocals add a certain rawness to the already gritty sound of the band, while guitarist Jason Victor shreds his way through each track with untamed ferocity. The rhythm section, comprised of Mark Walton on bass and Dennis Duck on drums, provides a solid backbone to the intricate musical tapestries woven by the band.

From the haunting opener "The Regulator" to the anthemic title track "Ultraviolet", this album is a journey through the darker side of rock'n'roll. The Dream Syndicate expertly blend elements of post-punk, psychedelia, and good old-fashioned rock to create a sound that is uniquely their own.

Standout tracks include the pulsating "Bullet Holes" and the introspective "Still Here Now", both of which showcase the band's versatility and songwriting prowess. Overall, "Ultraviolet Battle Hymns And True Confessions" is a bold and ambitious offering from a band that refuses to be pigeonholed. Strap in, turn the volume up, and prepare to be taken on a wild ride through the twisted minds of The Dream Syndicate.

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.
