Dream The Electric Sleep - American Mystic (2023) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

Dream the Electric Sleep combine `70s AOR and `80s Darkwave, with a spacey, heavy, post-rock intensity. The band‘s influences include Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Neurosis, Peter Gabriel, Pink Floyd, Tears for Fears, Soundgarden, and The Who. Their own music is expansive, eclectic and has been referred to as ‚the new American Prog Sound.

“This is the most personal record we’ve written I think,” says Matt Page (vocals, guitar). “We started writing this in 2017 and it felt like each month brought some new social, political, or personal upheaval. Politics fell apart, I became a new parent, then a pandemic, then more political and social fallout. The list was just never ending, and we needed a place to unpack the chaos and continually find a new footing. Fortunately, we had a great producer, Michael Beinhorn, who understood what we were working through and knew how to keep us writing, revising, and finding the emotional threads that pulled the album together. His guidance, persistence, and care were tremendous.”

American Mystic is the band’s fifth studio album and was recorded in Matt Page’s personal studio with engineer Nathan Yarborough (Mastodon, Korn, Code Orange). “During preproduction, Michael proposed a radical idea to us,” said Page, “He suggested he produce the album remotely using a high-end audio software called Source Connect. He had never worked in this way, but it just made perfect sense. He could basically be “in the room”, getting high-quality audio feeds from Nathan’s board fed directly to his listening station in Canada or wherever he was traveling. It was wild! We were cutting tracks and Michael would be coaching us through a part in our headphones from thousands of miles away! When the pandemic hit, we were all already working remotely, in isolation. This album truly is a product of its time on so many fronts.”
