Following two critically-acclaimed EPs, east London quartet Weird Dreams are now gearing up to release their debut full length offering in April. Inspired by singer Doran Edwards’ fondness of David Lynch, it’s an album that exists in a world of contradictions, of sugar-coated exteriors and sinister cores. We put ‘Choreography’ through its paces…‘Vague Hotel’A brief hum of feedback and we’re off. Jangling guitar riffs, handclaps and tambourines introduce proceedings before a steady, pounding beat fills out the sound as Doran croons about a place where “the party never stops”. Swooning around lush guitar bends and 50s melodies, the chorus immediately sets up Weird Dreams’ case – nostalgic but still fresh, this isn’t so much a paean to better days as a lost relic plucked straight from them.‘Hurt So Bad’Drenched in sunny, reverb-ridden guitars that belie the masochistic lyrical preoccupations within, ‘Hurt So Bad’ shows the oxymoronic heart of the band in full swing. “I love it when you hurt me bad” intones Doran over lush, girl group stylings, serenading the “happy little masochist” in the sweetest of fashions.
