Not to be confused with at least a dozen previous bands of the same name, here we’re talking about Merseyside (UK) four-piece The Dream Machine, featuring Zak McDonnell (vocals, guitar, percussion), Matthew Gouldson (guitar, keys), Jack Inchboard (bass, backing vocals) and Isaac Salisbury (drums). After three four-track EPs (compiled on the Vol: 1-3 LP), they’ve now released their self-produced debut album. Thank God! It’s The Dream Machine… consists of twelve appealing songs shifting between baroque pop and psychedelic garage rock, a melting pot of styles rooted in the 60s. What’s striking is how strong, rich and diverse this record is, with charismatic biting vocals (so characteristic of British bands), atmospheric harmonies, hypnotic melodies, and percussion that reveals a good eye for detail. This is certainly a new Dream Machine to be thankful for.
Thank God It’s The Dream Machine… is out on CD and vinyl LP through Run On Records / Modern Sky UK.
