A beautiful and indelible record, firmly establishing Tashaki Miyaki's singular sound and voice. Beautiful dream pop. On their debut LP The Dream, Tashaki Miyaki assuredly expand beyond the minimalist sound of their acclaimed EP. Lush, sweeping arrangements float around the steady groove of the rhythm section and Luke Paquin's other-worldly, atmospheric guitar work. Lyrical themes of existential crisis, contemporary American culture, & romantic love are given an extra ache by Paige Stark's haunting, molasses vocals. The Dream creates a world of its own-familiar yet esoteric, evoking a feel both classic and futuristic. The album is gracefully produced by vocalist/multi-instrumentalist/songwriter Paige Stark. Enlisting the talents of engineer Dan Horne (Cass McCombs, Allah- Las), local legend Joel Jerome (Cherry Glazerr, La Sera, Dios), and multi-instrumentalist Jon Brion to fill out the sound along with string arrangements by Nate Walcott (Bright Eyes) performed by the renowned Section Quartet. The Dream is a beautiful and indelible record, firmly establishing Tashaki Miyaki's singular sound and voice.
