Altered Zones

The ever-mysterious male-female duo that is Dream Boat is dropping a second full-length on AMDISCS next week. It's full of the sinewy vocal loops and dexterous beat programming that first caught our attention around this time last year when we posted the Providence group's "Your Beaches" single, and they came back at us with a video response. "Imissu" locks into a prickly, walking-pace groove until it gets stuck on a drum machine trill and kicks into another song entirely-- a misshappen club banger with beefy bass drones on the low end and pitched up, sing-songy vox on the high end. Chromatic melodies can just sound so taunting sometimes. --Emilie Friedlander, Visitation Rites
