Animal Daydream at Mad Mackerel

Hailing from Gothenburg, Sweden, Animal Daydream are a duo offering songs that are reminiscent of later Teenage Fanclub and Fleet Foxes, but also borrow liberally from the sound of ’70s soft rock, particularly Fleetwood Mac and CSNY, with their strong vocal harmonies and overall smooth, almost slick production. New EP, Citrus is released at the end of… Continue reading Animal Daydream at Mad Mackerel

Animal Daydream at Beehive Candy

‘Citrus’ has that classic jangly guitar sound that I associate so often with indie pop, however the vocals and harmonies really do take it into the realms of 1970’s soft rock. The overall effect is something quite timeless, so that the name checked references above really do hold water. [Link]

Animal Daydream at Austin Town Hall

Having talked about Animal Daydream last year, it only makes sense that I give some love to their new single, “Citrus.” Well, that and it’s just a really great track looking back to a pure era in American songwriting…though the group hails from Sweden. Imagine finding yourself in Haight-Ashbury, slowly indulging in really warm harmonies… Continue reading Animal Daydream at Austin Town Hall

Animal Daydream at Get It On Vinyl

Some of the coolest things come out of Sweden; Ikea, Volvo and now, Animal Daydream. While the band is a duo, there is allot of sound packed in their new EP Easy Pleasures out now on Jigsaw Records. The four track seven-inch is loaded with lush harmonies and jangly guitars. It’s easy to feel nostalgic… Continue reading Animal Daydream at Get It On Vinyl

Animal Daydream at Whisperin and Hollerin

Yet another cool band coming out of the very busy Gothenburg scene. This time, however, instead of being on a Swedish label like Birds Will Sing For You, Animal Daydream are instead on cool American indie Jigsaw Records out of Seattle. Still, one thing is for sure they sound like they would make a great… Continue reading Animal Daydream at Whisperin and Hollerin

Animal Daydream at Big Takeover

Hailing from Gothenburg, Sweden, Animal Daydream debut with four songs nodding to the mellow sounds of ’70s soft rock. Though only a duo, Animal Daydream’s sound is grand. Lush production encapsulates perfectly crafted songs, allowing vintage synthesizers and smooth vocals to work the Steely Dan vibe. The title track references Fleetwood Mac, not only in… Continue reading Animal Daydream at Big Takeover

Animal Daydream at Examiner

Sometimes less is more and on Easy Pleasure the Swedish band Animal Daydream proves just that. Their latest release is a four track EP that links 60’s pop rock with the sounds of the present. Haunting vocal harmonies weave their way through a wall of melody that is occasionally disturbed by the well placed synthesizers and… Continue reading Animal Daydream at Examiner

Animal Daydream at Collapse Board

You realize what a lucky bastard you are, don’t you? Well, you should. Exclusive EP streams normally aren’t our bag. I had a nice intro written here. Something about the golden days of American radio, how that was half a lifetime ago for me, how radical even James Taylor sounded to a kid who listened… Continue reading Animal Daydream at Collapse Board

Animal Daydream at Triste

Da un po’ di notti non riesco a dormire molto bene. Non è inusuale che io abbia pensieri misti ad ansia per la mente, ma c’è qualcosa di diverso, qualcosa che riguarda in particolar modo la mia schiena. Al mio risveglio mattutino devo inventare qualche esercizio posturale per raddrizzarmi. Qualcosa di molto lontano dallo yoga.… Continue reading Animal Daydream at Triste
