The Daily Choice: Gap Dream – Generator

by

Gap Dream’s newest single “Generator” follows in the slow burn antics of previously TDCed track “Cover It Up.” Where “Cover It Up” was a struck match slightly flickering in the wind, “Generator” is a beachside flashlight flickering its way to a dead battery. Sure, the wavering guitars of psych-rock everywhere still noodle their way about in to the song, peeling off to float away above Gabe Fulvimar’s everyman vocals, but the song has the almost poppy bounce of a whole different genre. Regardless of what sandbox this track plays in though, it’s just another sign that Fulvimar and his little one-man outfit are clearly something to keep an eye on.

“Generator” is the b-side of Gap Dream’s entry in to the newest edition of the Suicide Squeeze single’s club.

The Daily Choice: Gap Dream – Cover It Up

by

King Tuff (TDCed here) recently spent some time with the fine folks of Aquarium Drunkard spelling out his recent listens. It’s a fine read, and I’ve found myself tumbling head over heels in to the little Burger Records wormhole he’s opened up in front of me. Gap Dream is the first discovery on this uncontrollable journey. “Cover It Up” is the slow draw of a match against the side of a box. Fuzz, a mournful guitar solo, a reverb heavy voice clawing its way out of the mess – each element slowly stacking together, until the drums come in, the guitar gets cranked, and someone kicks the mic stand over. A fine bit of psych rock.

Gap Dream’s self-titled album is out on Burger Records.
