A perfect band for Liverpool's Psychedelic Festival, (they played there in 2013) The Lucid Dream’s self-titled 2nd album is a stormer!
Prepare yourself for a head spinning onslaught when the album gets a general release on 30th March. This is a Wooden Shjips, Moon Duo type blast of sonic sound. You could actually go the extra mile and fill your lounge with dry ice and coloured lights to gain the full effect!
The band were formed in Carlisle in 2008 and throughout 2010-2013 they released a string of sold-out 7”s, an EP and a debut album, ‘Songs Of Lies and Deceit’.
The Lucid Dream have since been earning their spurs on the road having completed four European tours, and various festival appearances.
The new album kick-offs with a seven minute instrumental ‘Mona Lisa’ which well and truly sets the widescreen scene of sound to come. ‘Cold Killer’ is another epic that leave the head spinning. ‘Morning Breeze’ delivers a feedback maelstrom yet the album closes with ‘You + I’, a nod to early 60s pop and a prime example of the change of pace and style of the album.
This is a band to keep an eye on!
