Not the Beatles’ song, this track from Twin Idols, the debut LP by Portland’s Daydream Machine, sails a dream ship through dense nebulae of reverb, suggesting Chris Isaak’s “Wicked Game” interpreted by Love & Rockets or Shriekback, with dollops of trippy flute and piano (calling Ray Thomas and Rick Wright).
Daydream Machine is Jsun Adams (vocals, guitar), Matthew Strange (vocals, guitar), Josh Kalberg (bass, guitar), Cat Hoch (vocals, percussion), and Jonathan Mono (guitar, synth, noise); for this song they are joined by Peter Holmstrom (The Dandy Warhols, Pete International Airport) and Collin Hegna (Federale, The Brian Jonestown Massacre).
Twin Idols is available on vinyl and CD from Picture In My Ear.
Upcoming shows:
Mar 17: Portland, Daydream Machine will be playing with a favorite band, A Place To Bury Strangers and VexX .
Mar 23: San Francisco at The Rickshaw Stop with Hinds
