Died Pretty - Everydaydream

CD: CITCD548
RELEASED: 2000
LABEL: Citadel

With the release of Everydaydream, Died Pretty continue down the path that led to their last album, Using My Gills As A Roadmap. With Wayne Connolly again at the helm, Everydaydream combines the experimentalism and new technology of Gills with the band's renowned classic pop sensibilities circa Lost and Doughboy Hollow. The drama and mystery of Ron Peno are in full flight as he delivers some of the finest vocals of his career, backed by a fluid assortment of psychedelic pop blips, beats and indulgences. Kicking off with the timeless Died Pretty pop of Misunderstood, we move through an assortment of shimmering modern gems. On Burning Mad, some delicious harmonies and 70's garage rock sensibilities see the Modern Dance driven by the spiky bass of Robert Warren and the faultless rhythm of Simon Cox. Dream Alone layers a seamless, ethereal Peno over of a shiny-four-to-the-floor exercise in relentlessness. A neo-Factory excursion through some sprinted melancholia, The Evening Shadows sports serious Peno musings on 'the big picture' and finishes the record in style.
