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

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

Animal Daydream at When You Motor Away
Maybe there should be a rule prohibiting bands from teasing us with four great tracks and then leaving us with nothing except the replay button. But that is what Swedish duo Animal Daydream has done with their Easy Pleasures EP. From the opening “Canyon Rose”, with its reminders of the golden years of Teenage Fanclub… Continue reading Animal Daydream at When You Motor Away
Animal Daydream at Collective Zine
The proclamation that this is “SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!” in the subject line of the email that this came in on would normally make me pretty sceptical about the content but I’ve enjoyed the last few things the PR folk had sent in here as they gave me the opportunity to hurtle into a whirlwind of heady… Continue reading Animal Daydream at Collective Zine
Animal Daydream at The Vinyl District
The duo Animal Daydream hail from Gothenburg Sweden and their “Easy Pleasures” EP connects a bit like a hypothetical Teenage Fanclub that’s more smitten with the machinations of Mick Fleetwood than the artistry of Alex Chilton. It’s a nice ride, and those desiring the vinyl should act fast, for only 300 7-inch platters in a… Continue reading Animal Daydream at The Vinyl District
Animal Daydream at Austin Town Hall
There are occasions when you get a tune that you can stop playing; it seeps into your soul, delighting your senses every step of the say. That’s precisely the sentiment I got when I first put on this new single from Sweden’s Animal Daydream. The guitar work could possibly take a nod to some of… Continue reading Animal Daydream at Austin Town Hall
