Band Review: Dreamer & Son


Dreamer & Son is a Boston-based band that describes themselves as nostalgic dream-rock.

While I am not sure I recognize any elements of nostalgia, I cannot deny a dream-like quality to their music. This is especially true on "Cheat", their single released in February. Using hints of echoes and a soft touch on the instrumentation, the overall mood can well be described as dreamy. The intro to "Tension" approaches it differently, but still has similar results. There are lovely musical accents on "Sweep".

I do find Dreamer & Son difficult to categorize, so perhaps new vocabulary is a reasonable response. In any event, I enjoyed listening. They make a good contribution.
