Day & Dream

"Combining 80s synths and cosmic effects, Day & Dream‘s new track sounds like a place that no one can access, an illusion, a surreal reverie." - HighClouds

"Hidden Cinema is haunting and shimmering at the same time. And as it drives home with Abby’s vocals, the fog of haze rise and diminish in part and whole." - Comeherefloyd

Here’s the latest ethereal noir single from North Carolina band Day & Dream.

In “Hidden Cinema,” the group picked up the aesthetic feather of the lost magic of cinematography of the middle of the last millennium. This tempting cosmic easy-listening is like a silk scarf fluttering on a retro Cadillac DeVille mirror in the evening lights. Day & Dream immerses us in entrancing pictures created by simple and easy touches. The synergy of the emerald synths and Abby Amaya’s marvelous seiyuu timbre make the sound blissfully melt in happy ears. “Hidden Cinema” feels like contemplating stars in the fresh night sky of a wide space of inspiration. - Grotesqualizer

“Brand new LP from Day & Dream certainly impresses… Your ears will certainly perk up when you hear her voice, layered on top of a compelling guitar churn." ~ DKFM - DKFM

Abby and Peter, from the band Day & Dream, called in from Asheville, NC, to chat with J about their song, “We’re Gonna Need Some More Coffee;” their album, ‘With Every Breath You Die;’ and some background about the project overall. Also, J and Bryan listen to new singles from Secret Shame, DM Stith, Field Mouse, and peaer… and manage to talk about The Rogers Sisters’ 2002 album ‘Purely Evil’ for a bit while they’re at it… - BTR Today

“The Asheville dream-pop/shoegaze band crafts a sound that suggests the influence of (or at least like-mindedness with) artists as diverse as The Cure, Shelleyan Orphan, Jesus & Mary Chain and Beach House. With Every Breath You Die is recommended to lovers of shimmering, gauzy pop.” ~ Bill Kopp, Mountain Xpress - The Mountain Xpress

"Beginning with dreamy guitar arpeggios, the track hugs the line between jazzy indie rock and 70s-inspired dream pop. The breathy female vocals are reminiscent of Lush or Mazzy Star but the guitars sound more like modern dream pop bands like Real Estate." ~ Adam Morgan, StGA - StGA

The couple embrace the description of their music as shoegaze-dream pop. - BPR, NPR For WNC

"The dream-pop tune embraces you like a hug, allowing Cocteau Twins-esque vocals to inspire and influence you to make a move—or at the very least, to help you feel ok in your paralysis." ~ Left Bank Magazine - Left Bank Magazine

Day & Dream “Paralysis By Analysis” - Last Day Deaf

‘Forest Fire’ – Day & Dream
Day & Dream is an indie-rock, dreampop, shoegaze band hailing from Asheville, North Carolina. When long time musicians and singer/songwriters, Peter Frizzante and Abby Amaya, met in New York City, they fell in love and began collaborating on a new artistic project. Abby’s roots are in California 60s coastal pop, while Peter’s is post-punk grit. Working together, they found inspiration in nature, sleep cycles and the stars. They thematically link their music to relationships, aging, hope, travel and risk-taking while showcasing admiration for Britpop, 90s grunge, fuzzy guitars, and melodic pop structures. Reverb soaked and layered with soft whispery vocals, the result is an energetic and memorable reverie. Recently, they’ve experimented with electronic beats and lo-fi, lounge sounds. - Talk ABout Pop Music

"Excellent dreampop. Don’t stop." ~ The Zine - The Zine UK

“The album shows some contemplative pieces, like “Forest Fire” and its twangy Twin Peaks vibes, though “Night Lights” stands out particularly as being a full-bodied representation of the group’s sound. A hypnotic percussive pulse accompanies textured guitars and dreamy vocals, certainly showing why Day & Dream have been compared to the likes of Stereolab, Warpaint, and The Sundays.” ~ Obscure Sound - Obscure Sound

Day & Dream are a band from Asheville, North Carolina, crafting a lushly engrossing sound with dream-pop and shoegaze sentiments. They released two singles this past weekeend: “Paralysis By Analysis” and “Sleep Screaming.” Both are accomplished aesthetically and melodically. “Paralysis By Analysis” showcases Abby Amaya’s consuming vocal presence, emitting a tone fit for calm dreaming amidst the jangly guitar hypnotics. I’m reminded of The Clientele’s quaint yet captivating sound, as well as TOPS’ late-night stylistic allure. “Sleep Screaming” also succeeds, with more diverse percussive shuffles and vocal production combining with the familiar guitar tones for a varied success. - Obscure Sound

The North & Carolina Day & Dream band in their work draws on the traditions of indie-rock, dreampop and shoegaze and fantastically combines them with warm trip hop grooves, soft girl vocals, gloomy lyrics and jazz guitar parts. For example, the track “Sleep Screaming” from their second single “Fading Summer” is dedicated to sleep paralysis and nightmares. And you won’t say it right away ... - Mishka DJ

‘Night Lights’ is the second single to be released from the sophomore album by North Carolina’s Day & Dream. I checked the song out after it was described as The Cure meets My Bloody Valentine, and I think that is a pretty good way to describe the track

Dreamy angelic vocals float over the top of guitars laced with enough reverb to make early 90’s shoegaze jealous. I’d say overall it’s probably leans more to the My Bloody Valentine side of things but the bassline does have a feel of The Cure about it. As someone who grew up in that era it’s certainly made me want to listen to more of Day & Dream. - INDIE MIDLANDS

“Finally, we have the sweet and subdued anthem of introversion that is Day & Dream’s “Paralysis by Analysis”. Accompanied by video of an elegant trapeze performance under red light, the song drifts gently, drenched in reverb, as vocalist Abby Amaya softly sings as a recluse, stricken with an inability to act or interact as she over-analyzes every situation, preferring to be alone in her “echo chamber”. The tones on this one are as pretty as you’ll hear, but the direct relatability is what’s particularly striking.” - Counterzine
