Lily Kershaw - Arcadia - VINYL LP

Peel Dream Magazine is the nom de plume of New York City-based musician Joe Stevens. A nod to BBC Radio 1 legend John Peel, arbiter of all things underground, Peel Dream Magazine is highly evocative of a certain strain of independent music. Stevens harkens back to the early 1990s, when The Velvet Underground resurged as an inspiration to a new set of bands wielding synthesizers, off-set guitars, and a political bent. The Peel Dream experience is defined by a gentle, fuzzy psychedelia it's a hypnotic bit of mod-ish lo-fi pop, recalling the best of early Stereolab, Lilys, and other shaggy haired kids with vintage fuzz pedals, slim trousers, and good record collections.Written and recorded over a four-week period in the fall of 2017, Peel Dream Magazine's debut album InchModern Meta PhysicInch fixates on the New Age universe of the Catskills region of New York. Stevens deals in esoteric bohemian fare Far East philosophy, Native American tradition, mid-century modern cool as he appraises the world according to privileged urban expats who increasingly call the upstate paradise home.Leading off the album, InchQi VelocityInch is a metronomic take on French pop that yields to a rich chorus reminiscent of Belle and Sebastian. Deetjen's, named after the much-loved bed & breakfast in Big Sur, would fit snugly on Unrest's best Teen Beat material. InchDue to Advances in Modern TourismInch displays a soft take on Neu!, while the organ that enters could be a sly wink to Steve Reich's InchFour Organs.There is an economy to these tracks everything is distilled down to it's essential elements, no gestures are wasted, no superfluous ornamentation taking up space. While Stevens is more than happy to show his influences on his sleeve mind you, they're great influences it's clear Peel Dream Magazine isn't just a sound.Inch The guy can write songs. Where he goes next is anybody's guess.1. Q
