Uncut Praises The Experimental Nature Of The Dream Syndicate’s New LP

UNCUT writes that The Universe Inside, the new LP from The Dream Syndicate, “makes for a compelling new chapter in their long history.” According to the magazine, the songs on the new LP “contract and distend fluidly, as though you’re listening to a lava lamp… In all the commotion, [Steve] Wynn’s voice is often reduced to another element delivering pure sound and rhythm, to the extent that his words can sound purposefully unintelligible. Even in this setting, however, he remains a resolute songwriter, his lyrics evoking the push and pull between order and chaos, between structure and sprawl, between melody and noise, between playing the music and letting it sweep you along.” Overall, the magazine awards the record with four stars and applauds the band because, “rather than trying to recapture old sounds and past glories, The Dream Syndicate sound like they’re trying to figure out what lies beyond.” Read the review here.
