Cleveland might not be the flower power psychedelic rock n roll capital of the country, but after spinning GAP DREAM's self-titled debut lp, you just might think it is. Sunshine pop harmonies cascade through mellow garage fuzz, sucking you deep into the world of transistor radios, hazy drug smoke, and lazy days at the beach. A strong vein of post Brit Invasion SoCal pop runs through this LP, reminding me of those much listened to and revered Byrds, Seeds, Love, and Strawberry Alarm Clock albums. Maybe you can even throw in a hint of T Rex or Syd Barrett when trying to pinpoint Gap Dreams' dreamy garage gems.......
at any rate, GAP DREAM is definitely recommended if you're into White Fence, Fresh and Onlys, Strange Boys, or Black Angels.....and this s/t debut is some of the most pleasant psych garage pop you'll hear all year long. Grab the LP from BURGER RECORDS now, 350 copies isn't enough to go around by a long shot...... (also available on tape for all you boombox kids....)
LISTEN TO THE WHOLE LP BELOW......
i bet you'll even listen to it more than once, i know i did.....
