American Songwriter Gives Props To The Dream Syndicate

“Props to The Dream Syndicate,” writes American Songwriter in its review of the group’s new LP The Universe Inside, “not just for going out on this non-commercial artistic limb, but doing it with aplomb and showing their talent to cohere around a vibe, rather than a song.” According to the site, “those familiar with the shorter, tighter format that The Dream Syndicate frontman/founder Steve Wynn has perfected over the decades with both solo work and that of his band may need come around to this unusual release, one that doesn’t follow in the footsteps of his previous output. Anyone expecting Grateful Dead styled noodling will be pleasantly surprised to find this about 180 degrees away from that. Rather, as its psychedelic cover implies, it’s more indebted to early, pre-Dark Side psychedelic Pink Floyd mixed with Bitches Brew-era Miles Davis, Jefferson Airplane at their edgiest and even Jimi Hendrix.”
